Average American Joe McDoakes searches in vain for any cure that will halt his fast-disappearing hairline.

In this Warner Bros. short film, George O'Hanlon stars as everyman Joe McDoakes. When Joe begins to think he is losing his hair, he sets out to find a solution to his problem, but every barber he consults has different advice for him. He tries a number of remedies: soft-soap shampoo, soap-less shampoo, fresh olive-oil shampoo, lemon-juice shampoo, fresh-egg shampoo, and even a beer shampoo. Confused, he heads off to the library to see what he can find and tries yet more solutions, without much success.—garykmcd

A humorous look at how men cope with hair loss. Joe McDoakes starts finding too much hair in his comb. He first asks for advice at the barber shop. Each barber has a different solution. He reads books on the subject and tries different shampoos, all to no avail. In desperation he visits the 'Mo-Hair Institute', whose motto is "If your hair is unbecoming to you...You should be coming to us."—David Glagovsky <dglagovsky@prodigy.net>
