The story
Law school student David Maldon is hired by a prominent law firm. At a birthday party for the senior partner, his erratic behavior causes Belney's beautiful daughter Mary to accuse David of being drunk, but he is not. David suffers from a rare malady called "liquor recoil" that causes him to become intoxicated at the mere taste of alcohol.
