Chase appears as a small town cub reporter of the rather "dumber" sort who indulges in some April Fool jokes with results disastrous to himself. A good burlesque on the suspicion with which most people regard their neighbors on the day when every sort of practical joke is adjudged legitimate. About every time-honored practical joke is shown - the placing of tacks on chairs, the rubber hammer and the imitation ink spot.—a period review
Jimmy Jump is a cracked reporter at a behind-the-times daily newspaper. He also happens to be in love with the managing editor's daughter. It's Monday, April 1st and the paper's editorial staff has a great deal of trouble telling the difference between April Fool's jokes and real events.—Anonymous
