Storyline

"Girls, Giggles and Gags! Love Larks and Laughs! With Johnny's inimitable pep just oozing right out of the screen into your heart!"

A chipper young inventor seems to have a stroke of good luck when an eccentric millionaire gives him a yacht as a gift… but the “millionaire” is really an escapee from an asylum and the yacht is being used to smuggle illicit spirits by a gang of bootleggers. Can’t win ‘em all…
