A joyful silent-era comedy built on physical gags and slapstick, where a refined young man must prove himself to his gruff father through increasingly absurd trials, culminating in heroic action during a catastrophic storm.

The just-out-of-college, effete son of a no-nonsense steamboat captain comes to visit his father whom he's not seen since he was a child.
