Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Future director David Butler plays a hobo who aspires to become a business success. Taking a correspondence course which advises him (in part) to "put on a big bluff", Butler heads to a small town, where he poses as a prominent miner. Before the ruse can be revealed, Butler has rescued the town from financial disaster. He also wins the girl, played by Helen Ferguson. Directing According to Hoyle with his customary express-train speed was Woody "One Take"VanDyke.
