W.C. plays the lead role of the Pharmacist. He's got 2 daughters that are the trial of his life; he's trying to make an dishonest living by selling bathtub gin under the counter and has to come up with inventive ways to hide it from the federal agents; and the police have a running gun battle right outside his door.
This is a fairly routine Fields movie, and has a few really funny bits in it, but it doesn't stand out among his films. It's cute but not brilliant. Well worth a look, though.
