A dying father gives his son (Frank Coghlan Jr) - who has a pet monkey - and a box containing $25,000 to his lawyer. The lawyer is to deliver son and cash to Bill's friend Captain Fairchild (Bert Woodruff). Sounds easy, but a group of crooks are intent on stealing the cash...
The film is basically about the crooks' failed attempts to steal the money box. One of the antics involves disguising the moneybox as a cake so there is a deal of farce here. Meanwhile Fairchild's niece Grace (Virginia Bradford) is mixed up with Clyde (Tom Keene) who is an pilot. Fairchild hates pilots apparently...
The film ends with a nice action set piece on a plane after the desperate thieves try kidnapping Grace but overall it is a rather confusing effort. Why does the captain hate pilots? The stunts are decent. Overall the film is a bit forgettable though.
