Plot

James P. Alden, an automobile tycoon who's being pushed to retire, assumes the identity of family gardener Herman Brinker and, hoping to prove he's still vital, buys a corner gas station with Greg Wilson, who doesn't know his true identity. This complicates matter when he falls for Alden's daughter Marcia. Along the way, the two men also grapple with shakedown artists and numerous false arrests due to mistaken identity.
