Andy Clyde is trying to run his grocery business, but partner Bud Jamison is too busy on the phone with his broker, on the way to becoming a millionaire on margin. Finally, he lets Andy buy him out, acquires a Broadway fiancee, and spends his easy winnings on swank. Clyde's wife, Daphne Pollard,wants in on the easy money, and Jamison is happy to oblige. However Clyde hears before the trade goes through and stops it. What will he tell the wife as the shares she thinks she owns continue to rise?
Jamison shows off his fine singing voice in this Mack Sennett short, and Miss Pollard does an eccentric dance like what I can only describe as an Egyptian duck. Quite clearly Sennett was getting his revenge on the stock market, which had crashed the previous year.
