Plot

Silent McGee is a tough gangster, and Mr. Oscar Lemon is a mild-mannered Swede who coincidentally looks exactly like the gangster McGee. Silent McGee disguises himself as a Swedish immigrant while running from the law, causing Mr. Lemon to be mistaken for the wanted man. Julie LaRue is a comedic vamp who pursues the comparatively innocent Mr. Lemon.

Cast

Reception

The New York Times' Mordaunt Hall, wrote at the time, "Mr. Brendel is mildly funny in some of the scenes, but a little of this Swedish-accented comedian goes a long way. Miss Dorsay gives a lively performance and during the proceedings she hazards a song titled 'My Racket Is You.' Mr. Collier is worthy of better lines than are given to him in this film."[1]
