Earle Rodney and Helen Darling have an understanding. However, when he is introduced to her parents, it turns out he has already met her father -- and infuriated him. Father says she can marry anyone but him. So Earle gets his actor friend Eddie Barry to play her new fiancé, a gun-toting plug-ugly... with predictable results.
This comedy is a lot rougher than most Christie comedies of the era, but is nicely handled by William Beaudine. Also of interest are the intertitles. They are decorated with cartoons by Norman Z. McLeod, who would go on to direct some fine comedy movies starring the Marx Brothers, W.C. Fields and Danny Kaye.
