Synopsis
Three men who have escaped from a German prison camp and are reported missing return to England as stowaways on the night of the Armistice celebration: Jimmy Gubbins, Cockney; Billy Foster, an American; and "Spoofy," who is absentminded as the result of shell shock. Ivis Ayers, an American girl entertaining wounded soldiers at her London home, is recognized by Billy, who discovers her with Peter Larne, for whose defalcations Billy is wanted by the police. Larne offers him a bribe to leave the country and remain dead; in a struggle Larne is shot and Billy escapes. Mrs. Gubbins discovers that there is a reward for Billy's return and telephones Scotland Yard; meanwhile, Spoofy finds new clothes in a nearby residence and departs with money and a baby in a perambulator. Arrival of the detectives restores him to sanity, Ivis clears Billy of the accusations against him, and Spoofy--when his wife recognizes him--discovers that he has robbed his own home.
