The story

As described in a film magazine, war veteran Chester Binney incorrectly believes he is carrying a silver plate in his skull and must avoid all excitement and exertion, returns to his home town where he is feted by his old employer George Simmons, a big butter and egg magnate who hopes to strike up a match between his daughter Ethel and the ex-doughboy, as the latter is heir to a tidy fortune. Chester, however, proves a flop at sex and the haughty girl drops him cold. Simmons decides upon a plan that will add some color to the drab past of the rejected suitor.
