Overview

What excitement! What novelty! What modern day splendor. Fairbanks in a three-mile-a-minute comedy-drama.

Wall Street wizard, Larry Day, new to the ways of love, is coached by his valet. He follows Vivian Benton on an ocean liner, where cocktails, laced with a "love potion," work their magic. He then loses his fortune in the market crash and feels he has also lost his girl.
