A gangster-comedy. Rochelle Hudson (Ann Garrison) is a gourmand whose vocation is freeloading. She forms an alliance with an Arizona gas station owner, Carter (Arthur Treacher), who bears a strong resemblance to a notorious criminal, "Baby Face Burns." As such, Carter is subjected to a number of misadventures, including his abduction by rival gangsters for ransom. A wealthy industrialist, who possesses his own railway carriage, embraces Carter as his offspring while he is inebriated. When he sobers, he has no recollection of his adoptive “son.” [5]
