本片是一部典型的喜剧片，有一位喜好酗酒的制片家，一天他刚喝完酒，便突发奇想，要拍一部卖大钱的无声电影以便一夜成名，于是他第二天就开始找寻大明星参加这部剧的演出，在这个过程中，这位制片人闹出了一连串的笑话。此片的最大特点是不用对白来交代剧情的发展，另一个的特点是网罗多名大明星客串演出，全片不乏笑料...

When an escaped circus gorilla appears to have gone on a murderous rampage, a threatened attorney calls on the detective trio of Garrity, Harrigan and Mullivan to act as bodyguards. In short order, we discover that there is more to the attorney than meets the eye, and the ape may be innocent after all. When a pretty young heiress faces peril, it's up to our heroic trio to save the day.
