Private Detective Billy Dooley is hired to find proof of a husband's adultery. He discovers the man with his wife, Addie McPhail.
Dooley was a Broadway dancer. In the last couple of years of silent production, he became a star of silent shorts, usually playing a blank-faced idiot in a sailor suit in comedies from the Christies distributed by Paramount. This was an attempt to keep his stardom going in the sound era, but despite direction by Roscoe Arbuckle, it's too slight and short of laughs to do much. Soon Dooley would be reduced to uncredited bits in movies. He would die in 1938 at the age of 45.
