Plot
Joe Holt works for the Armstrong Rubber Goods company and believes that he has invented an unsinkable bathing suit. His colleagues mock Joe behind his back and fool him into thinking that his boss likes the swimsuit idea.
Joe travels to California to inherit his aunt's fortune, which he intends to use to finance the manufacture of his swimsuit. However, his aunt died broke. Joe befriends a servant's son, Sam Wellington, and together take a boat to Santa Catalina Island.
Socialite Alice Brandon mistakes Joe for a famous swimmer with his same name. She has just parted ways with channel swimmer Ed Dover and wants Ed to lose an upcoming channel race, so she persuades Joe to enter. Sam must teach Joe how to swim. The real swimmer Joe Holt finds himself in jail after being accused as an impostor. Joe impresses Alice by winning the race.
