Comedy.

Synopsis: [Motion Picture News, 27 November 1926, page ?] Andy wins a decorated automobile parade contest. Hence to the sea shore. Why the sea shore? That is obvious; that there may be an invasion of the field with bathing beauties in one-piece suits as a background for the Gump family. Once robbed of his prize money by the avaricious Min, Andy seeks solace playing with the nymphs. Putting him on the end of the line they snap-the-whip with great success, sending Andy sprawling into beach luncheon parties, etc. Always in evidence is Andy’s Nemesis, the man from whom he took the automobile prize money. In and out of beach tents disturbing various people in various degrees of undress or up and down and in a mad seemingly never ending pursuit race go the two rivals. The end comes when the race leads to the Gump tent where that representative of the so-called weaker sex, Min, puts to rout the burly opponent of her husband.
