Willie, (Andrew Tombes), a stooge, gets Max Dourfuss (Joe Cawthorn) interested in it and he agrees to finance it. Dourfuss pays $1,000 for a ninety day option, after which he is to pay Dr. David $1,000,000 cash. Willie gets his old friend, Chick Randall (Ross Alexander), who has just finished a jail-term, to promote the proposition. Randall get Dourfuss all steamed up and with his bankroll, opens an elaborate suite of offices in Fifth Avenue. Here a beautiful white-enameled automobile engine is installed to demonstrate the Gasoline Substitute. Half a hundred high-powered salesmen start to sell stock. They sell plenty. A lovely girl named Grace (Beverly Roberts) is engaged as Randall’s secretary. Dr. David, the inventor, meanwhile has disappeared. One of his delusions is that he is shadowed by detectives from foreign powers. He has, however, left behind enough of his chemical for demonstration purposes. Some spaghetti-making brothers named Romenetti, (Eddie Conrad and Harry Burns), buy heavily into Gasoline Substitute. It looks as though the thing is going over big. But just on the verge of a demonstration for the Better Business Bureau, all the chemical that remains is drunk up by Dourfuss who mistakes it for liquor. The Romenetti brothers, with knives, force their way in to see Randall, and demand their money back. To get rid of them, he suggests they pour a few ounces of a fluid he gives them, into their gasoline tank, after having driven 25 miles in the country and emptied the tank, refilling it with water. What he hands them comes from a five gallon jug labeled ‘“‘cider’’, which a strange-looking individual who had been appearing at the outer office every day and demanding to see Randall, had left. The excitable brothers carry out the suggestion. Then grief comes aplenty to Randall. The Better Business Bureau and federal investigators all descend on the office together and order him to give a demonstration at once or go to jail. In despair, he is just about to surrender when the Romenetti brothers dash in. They have followed his instructions—and the fluid worked. Randall examines the “cider” again, and makes Dourfuss taste it. He swears it is genuine. It is the precious chemical devised by Dr. David. He is the strange-looking individual who had tried unsuccessfully to see Randall, giving phoney hames because of his delusion about foreign powers being after him. The white-enameled machine is demonstrated perfectly; the Gasoline Institute buys Dr. David’s patents for ten million dollars; and Grace goes into Randall’s arms.
