Glen Tryon and James Gleason are robbing a jewelry store when William Austin and cohort come in to proclaim his King of Bulvania. Thither he must return to overthrow the usurper Sam Hardy and rescue his sweetheart, Marion Shilling, from the penthouse dungeon.
It's one of a baker's dozen of movies produced by the Masquers' Club to raise money for charity. They were a sort of offshoot of New York's Lambs Club founded by Broadway Actors who had gone Hollywood. They're still around today, although they don't seem to be producing many two-reel comedies.
And a wacky comedy it is, too, under the direction of the silly Harry Sweet. He produced absurd live-action shorts starring himself in the 1920s. In the 1930s he initiated many successful comedy series for RKO, then died in 1933 at the age of 31.
