Synopsis
Three war veterans, "Spoofy," a shell-shocked English officer who is suffering from amnesia; Jimmy Gubbins, a Cockney; and William Foster, an American wanted for embezzling funds from his father's business--escape from a German prison camp and return to London after the Armistice to find themselves listed among the dead. Gubbins' mother, who runs a boardinghouse, sees a chance to collect a reward offered for Foster, and she calls Scotland Yard; however, she wishes Gubbins would "stay dead" until the last death insurance payment has arrived. Police officers arrive to arrest Foster, and instead they solve a burglary and kidnaping committed the previous night: driven temporarily insane by amnesia, Spoofy broke into the house, stole some jewels, and kidnaped a baby. Knocked unconscious when he resists arrest, Spoofy suddenly recovers his memory. He discovers that he is Lord Leicester and that he robbed his own house and kidnaped his own child. Foster's situation is resolved when an American detective informs him that he is heir to his deceased father's fortune and that the embezzlement charges are being dropped. Foster and Rose, a girl he met on the boat from the United States, return to the United States to marry, while Gubbins marries his sweetheart, Peggy Woofers.
