Synopsis
Even though he works in a garage and is bullied by his boss, Mock Epply, Willie Bascom sports a pair of fashionable white trousers that get him into considerable difficulty. Willie meets Helen Charters, daughter of an automobile manufacturer, when they stop on their way to a summer resort. Charters takes an interest in a magnetic bumper device invented by Willie, who gets an opportunity to repair a car and deliver it to the resort, dressed in his white pants and with Wong, a Chinese laundryman, as his chauffeur. Willie is mistaken for a crack polo player, and by bluffing he manages to win a polo game, the admiration of Helen, and Charters' support in promoting his invention.
