Pete Prindle wins the affections of Christine Cadwalader, but the father of the girl demands that Pete shall get a half interest in his father's food product company before he is allowed to marry her. Pete accepts the ultimatum. Proteus Prindle, father of Pete, is angry when he receives the request from his son. He shows how his two girls have broken into print with an illustrated article in Vegetarian Gazette. Pete offers to get his picture on the front pages of all the New York papers. Proteus gives Pete $100 and tells him not to come back till he makes good his boast. Pete wrecks an auto, wins a prize fight, swims to shore from a steamer and is locked up after a fight with the police. But none of these adventures net him more than a line or two in the papers. Then he foils a band of yeggs and rescues a train from being wrecked. Christopher and his daughter are on board and congratulate him. It ends with his getting his picture in all the metropolitan papers.

| User ReviewAj VIn this picture, Fairbanks plays the son of a rich food corp. owner. He falls in love with the daughter of another food corp. owner, who specializes in vegetarian foods, and wont let her marry him unless he has a cut in the profits of his father's company. Problem is, he's a lazy bum, so his father says he'll only give him a cut if he gets some publicity for the company. So he goes around looking for ways to get, as the title says, his picture in the papers. This plays out hilariously, as his crazy schemes aren't newsworthy. I really liked this movie, it was a lot of fun, if you like Fairbanks please check it out. |
