At the hotel, the head of the Limburger Navy is quite a social favorite. He becomes grossly interested in a certain married woman, whose husband shows his dislike of the Admiral's attentions by showering a succession of forcible incidents in which Shimsky comes off second best. Moon, a government agent, in love with Rena, the inventor's daughter, has unsuccessfully tried to buy the invention, and thinking to safeguard his country's interests, he employs two men to answer an ad which the hotel has inserted in a local daily. The requirements of this advertisement read and explained that the hotel needs the services of two ex-sailors to act in ship-shape order, while attending the wants of the Admiral. Moon promises these men a fortune, if, while acting as servants to the Naval Head, they can obtain a copy of the plans of this invention. Employed in this capacity, the bungling men finally obtain the much wanted papers, and also the wallet of Shimsky. Circumstances eventually expose the wallet as being stuffed with stage money by Shimsky, who is denounced as a faker. He flees, and the bungling men are not long following him. This is a rapid fire, slapstick comedy, in which the complications are too involved to detail. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
