The basic premise of this Leon Errol two reeler is inconsequential with his impersonation of a polo champion while trying to make a sale for his irritable employer so he can get a promotion. Like his role in the "Mexican Spitfire" series, Errol spends half the time imitating another person, in this case an eccentric English nobleman.
Errol could do this type of part in his sleep with his mimicking abilities. Of course everything that can go wrong does go wrong and Errol's character creates more damage than his efforts to make a sale. The cast here is entirely male so there's no nagging wife, no sultry femme fatale and no shocked old woman. This puts all the focus on Errol's talents, and the result is one of his best shorts.
