Synopsis
Bill Small, a smalltown inventor in South Dakota, is full of impractical ideas, though he is defended by his wife, Betty, against her sister Jane and brother-in-law Ed Mason. When Ed confesses that he has been using the bank's funds for speculation, Bill, acting on a hunch, forces cashier Jim Belden to confess that he has been doing the same thing; but Bill is humiliated when his shoe polish ruins the shoes of banker Sprague. Ed and Jim aid him in appropriating $50,000; just as they are on the verge of being discovered, Bill reports that he has played the market and won, and he returns to his wife a hero.
