Plot
Automotive mogul Peter Randolph desperately needs money for a diesel engine that he is developing. He asks his daughter Pat to extend a dinner invitation to eccentric millionaire Aloysius P. Merriweather, a man whom they have never met. Merriweather, to amuse himself, sends his barber Joe Jenkins in his place.

Aloysius is on his way to meet his girlfriend Mazie when he is struck by a car. Joe is smitten with Pat, but things go wrong; he capsizes their boat and then sets her father's cabin on fire. They spend the night together on a beach, and Aunt Penelope impulsively announces Pat's engagement to marry Joe, believing that he is Aloysius. Joe maintains the ruse at Pat's behest, trying to avoid a family scandal, and befriends the wealthy Mr. Watkins. Mazie reads about the engagement and appears, causing trouble, as does her brother Spike, who wants to kill her cheating boyfriend. Aloysius awakens in time to prevent Joe from being killed.
