Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this comedy, a young man slated to inherit a big fortune is conned into dressing up as Napoleon by his aunt and uncle who tell him he is to attend a costume ball. Instead, they take him to an asylum and have him committed. Fortunately, he, a nurse, and several inmates manage to escape and return to his home where he manages to get rid of his troublesome relatives.
