  Harold Lloyd runs afoul of some bootleg hootch in this two-reel comedy. When his friend (Roy Brooks) shows him a little distillery he has hidden away in his office, Harold is fascinated. But while they're admiring one of the bottles, the cork pops out and the liquor begins to run over. The two men have no choice but to drink it, of course. Harold and his pal then embark on a number of wild, drunken adventures which eventually lead them up to the ledge of a skyscraper. Things get really interesting when Harold encounters a pretty sleepwalker (Mildred Davis) hundreds of feet above the sidewalk. Although he's none too steady himself, Harold does his best to come to her rescue. After more than a few moments of clumsiness and thrills, he looks down at the street and this sobers him up quick. Any similarity between the stunts in this film and some of those in Safety Last are probably not a coincidence.
