Overview

Set in London (but filmed in New Jersey), the story endeavors to prove that man's greatest enemy is liquor. When elderly tosspot John Warriner is shot for trespassing, Warriner's son holds property owner Sir Arthur Stanton.

Prints of the film survive in the film archives of the Library of Congress and the Museum of Modern Art.
