A lighthearted silent-era comedy built on mistaken identity and physical comedy, with romantic entanglement and escalating slapstick peril.

An ambitious shoe salesman, Harold, unknowingly meets the boss' daughter and tells her he is a leather tycoon. The rest of the film he spends hiding his true circumstances, in the store and later on a ship. Trying to deliver a letter, he later finds himself dangling high above the street on a building's scaffolding.
