Douglas Fairbanks plays "Coke Ennyday", a scientific detective, who uses cocaine to fight his enemies. This is Fairbanks totally unhinged: he wears a loud checkered costume, with a matching car, a huge mustache and crazy wig. The belt around his waist is loaded with syringes, with which he frequently shoots up with the coke. At one point, he eats a jar of opium and literally hops through the end of the movie. A reverse film gimmick makes him jump out of water and onto the ceiling. The plot is thin and it is just too silly to be anything more than a very interesting curio.
