Mr. Schmidt's costume store is bankrupt because he spends his time on Rube Goldberg-style inventions; the creditors send a young manager who falls for Schmidt's niece Louise, but she'll have none of him. Schmidt's friends Ted, Queenie, and some goofy firemen try to help out; things come to a slapstick head when Louise needs rescuing from a fire.

"A hilarious jumble of nonsense about a crazy inventor and a lackadaisical fire company ending up in a comic fire." ( National Board of Review Magazine, 5:7:17, Sep 1930).
