Synopsis
Sam Smith, an exponent of the easy life, is tricked into a private sanitarium for the wealthy, where he is believed to be a patient who is expected there. He meets Bill Carroll, who has been railroaded to the asylum by Henry Carroll, his insane twin brother who wants to marry Beatrix Staynes, already betrothed to Bill. Bill enlists the aid of Sam, who escapes and makes his way to the Staynes home. There a party is in progress to celebrate the wedding, to take place in a dirigible. Sam reaches the aviation field in time to grab a ladder dangling from the dirigible, and he succeeds in stopping the wedding. The dirigible is wrecked and lands in the yard of the sanitarium where Bill is waiting for Beatrix; Henry is cured by the crash, and Bill and Beatrix are happily married.
