He is in despair when a caravan carrying a broke-down-and-out troupe of actors---Jennifer, Judd, Mrs. Merridew and her daughter, Alice---crashes down the hill and wrecks the hotel sign. Carr offers to board and lodge them free for a week if they can provide enough excitement to keep Meadows and the other guest from leaving. The actors agree. They have the properties and costumes for a Western melodrama,"Vance Kilroy's Revenge", which they proceed to adapt real-life for the occasion. That evening a woman (Mrs. Merridew) rushes into the hotel lounge with her little daughter (Alice), begging to be saved from the whip of her brutal husband Black Jud (Judd).

- DirectorFrank BorzageStarsWill RogersFifi D'OrsayLucien LittlefieldLemuel Morehouse, the owner of a profitable meatpacking company in Chicago, bemoans the fact that neither of his two sons have the time nor inclination to eat with him. Billy is obsessed with culture, while Tom is a physical fitness nut. At the office, Lemuel is exasperated when Billy arrives for work at four in the afternoon and cannot stay because of a party he is giving that night to unveil a statue he bought for $20,000. Lemuel then finds Tom meeting with his golf committee rather than working. When the boys argue that business is only a means to an end, and that happiness and enjoyment of life are desired goals, Lemuel counters their contentions by declaring that what they really need are wives and tells them that Dorothy and Rose Gregson, the daughters of an old friend, will soon be visiting. During the party, Fleurette, a French singer hired by Billy, goes to Lemuel's bedroom to undress before her performance, and after an embarrassing moment, she and Lemuel become friends. She encourages him to loosen up, and after awhile, he saunters downstairs drunk, just as the statue, supposedly a distinguished work of modern art, is being unveiled. Billy worries that Fleurette may be a blackmailer. Sometime later, Billy, Tom and Lemuel's staid partner, Noah Marley, are concerned because Lemuel has not shown up for an important meeting. Since meeting Fleurette, Lemuel is never at home, and he has been arrested in a speakeasy raid. Lemuel arrives at the office in top hat and tails, and when his sons act indignant at his behavior, he reiterates their own philosophy and leaves skipping with Fleurette to go to the races. Billy and Tom call detectives to follow them. At the track, the detectives spy Fleurette introduce Lemuel to Harry Lamson, an infamous blackmailer, but they conclude that she is worth the money it will cost Lemuel. Fleurette tells Lemuel that Lamson is a friend of the man who sold Billy the statue, Colonel Stanhope, and that Stanhope went to Colorado, where her mother owns some land. Lemuel agrees to go with her to check on the land, and Billy and Tom, believing that they left to get married, follow with Marley, the Gregson sisters, who have just arrived in town, the detectives and a judge. At the Hotel Colorado, a suspicious man watches as Lemuel and Fleurette register. When Stanhope boasts that he sold Fleurette's mother's land for $2,000, Lemuel reveals that he has learned that Stanhope made $40,000 from the deal. Lemuel then asserts that the statue Billy bought was in reality a hunk of granite that a drunkard ordered for a tombstone. By warning Stanhope that, as an ex-convict, he could get a ten-year sentence for fraud, Lemuel induces him to pay $40,000 for a large rock he unveils in a ceremony in the hotel lobby. In her bedroom, as Fleurette embraces Lemuel to thank him, the man who earlier spied upon them bursts in and reveals that he is Fleurette's husband. Lemuel is certain that the couple will blackmail him, but thinks the experience has been worth it and takes out his checkbook. Fleurette, disappointed in Lemuel, explains that she left her husband because of his jealousy, and the husband contends that her mother sent for him to check on the land. Convinced that they are telling the truth, Lemuel says that he and Fleurette are not in love, but just good pals. As they shake hands, Lemuel's sons and their party intrude. Lemuel explains that he wanted to teach his sons a lesson, but that he learned one himself: that anyone is dead who lets life pass him by. He then goes on an ocean liner to Paris with Fleurette and her husband, and brings along Marley, who soon sports a toupee and an entourage of attractive young women. The toupee, however, falls into the water, and everyone laughs.

Meanwhile, the "Earl" finds himself in a dilemma.
