Harold Lloyd plays an ambitious shoe-store clerk who wants to win the admiration of a young woman he believes comes from wealth. To do so, he invents a lavish millionaire persona that quickly spirals out of control. One misunderstanding leads to another, and before long Lloyd finds himself stowing away on a voyage to Hawaii, clinging desperately to his deception. The second and most popular talkie starring Lloyd, the film features some of his most daring thrill-comedy stunts.
