 Harold is seen as an ambitious young apprentice shoe clerk who, in his effort to make good with his em- ployer gets into all kinds of humor- our situations-putting gun-boat sized shoes on the cute tootsies of his employers wife; crashing a society ball in order to impress a young lady he falls in love with finding himself aboard trans Pacific steamer without ticket; hid- ing in mail bag only to be picked up and carried with the mail on a ship-to-shore airplane, and finally landing on painters scaffolding in mid-air, wrapped up in the mailbag.
 Needless to say he wins the girl-- and he deserves to. after such haz- ardous experience.
