Summary
It's a harum-scarum collection of song, slapstick and thumbnail sketches, the likes of which defy dramatic law! The focus of the story is on Fields' presentation of an imaginative script for a new picture at Esoteric Pictures, Inc. The script turns out to be a vehicle for himself, a hero who makes Superman look like a wimp. It's a Fields-day on a vaudeville bill, with the bulbous-nosed star in every act!
