- Here is a short comedy that is good, clean fun and at the same time a riot. Monty Banks is the featured player and he has the true comedy sense, being just about the whole thing.

The advertisement of an insurance company gives him the "idea." So he takes out an accident policy and then proceeds to get the needed damages. The risks he takes would kill a half a dozen men. Even when he falls off a skyscraper (under construction) he lands on a pile of mattresses passing on a dray. In deeper gloom he tears up the policy and is promptly run over by father's car.
