Storyline

The sanitarium run by Lallah Hart is in need of repairs and her nephew (Earle Rodney) is broke and after a loan. In her absence (off with her beau) he rents the place out to a group of (presumably) chorus girls (doubling inevitably as bathing beauties) while having to deal with the arrival of his own fiancée (Myrtle Lind) and her parents (the formidable Blanche Payson and Baldy Belmont) who between them provide most of what few laughs there are and a sheriff (Fritz Schade) with a debt to collect.
