Jack goes to a reception there in the guise of a British earl and discovers that most of the guests are also fakes. Mrs. Parkin has put her brother, Mr. Remwick, in an insane asylum in order to gain control of his estate, but Remwick escapes and meets up with his daughter Jane who is Mrs. Parkin's secretary. Jack offers to help them open the safe that contains a receipt implicating asylum professor Frank Blight in the plot. Remwick and Jane drive off to his apartment pursued by Mrs. Parkin and the asylum guards. Jack follows in another car and notifies the police who rescue Remwick. The receipt proves Remwick's sanity and his sister's guilt. Jack wins Jane's affections. Written by AFI See less
