Jeremiah Piper (Lucien Littlefield) is a grumpy old rich misogynist. His nephew Stanley Piper(Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle) is the apparent heir. He falls for his uncle's nurse Phyllis Brown (Mary Thurman). His uncle warned her about Stanley, but he intends to disprove the playboy accusation. It doesn't help that he gets pursued by various women.
I haven't seen that many Fatty Arbuckle films. I know that his career ended by some sort of unsavory scandal. He was supposedly a peer to the greatest silent film era comedians. He's basically a big guy who does a bit of physical comedy. At best, he's sort of like a Chris Farley without the innocence. The silent film era doesn't allow him to truly speak. He has a bit of physicality. I don't think that I laughed once for this movie.
