A young, love-struck millionaire (Harold Lloyd) is smitten by a prudent young woman (Mildred Davis) right before he makes the most important decision of his life. He joins the Navy, in part to improve his standing with his love's spit-and-polish man of a father (Noah Young). When she is kidnapped by a sadistic maharajah, the inexperienced hero leaps into action to save his bride-to-be from peril. The maharajah's minions have other ideas, however, and the young officer's toughness is tested.

Jul 9, 2016 Immense fun and a real good omen for the Harold Lloyd silent features to follow. A great gag laden comedy with romance, an unlikely friendship and a fun packed finale.
