Blundering druggist Elmer Prettywillie (W. C. Fields) suffers a catastrophic day at his store until the scheming "president" of a real estate company makes him an offer he can't refuse. This entertaining silent film includes a concoction of silly skits, and features a trashy picnic on an elegant estate lawn that Prettywillie thought was a public park. Louise Brooks plays a radiant drug store "counter attraction" who also attracts the schemer's eye. (official distributor synopsis)
