Lloyd is a dapper millionaire who can buy his way out of any mishap. He pays off an accident with a reverend who runs a mission for the poor with an extravagant check, who then renames the mission in his name. Lloyd doesn't like the publicity so shows up to complain, but ends up falling in love with the reverend's daughter, Lloyd regular Jobyna Ralston. After a short romance they plan a wedding, but Lloyd gets sidetracked with some drunk gangsters, leading to the famous crosstown streetcar and bus ride through the streets of L.A.This is a gag-driven film with little to no character development and the thinnest of plots to hold things together. Even the chase finale is a retread from Girl Shy.
