Small-town drama starring Kibbee as an eccentric but pleasant town drunk who entertains children with outlandish tales of adventure. Robson plays a lonely spinster who forbids her young niece from spending any time with Kibbee. The girl disobeys and becomes one of the drunk's most avid listeners. One day Kibbee discovers a buried treasure and kills a man in self-defense after he is attacked for the loot. The girl is put on the witness stand and her testimony is damaging. After a silly chase scene which sees the kid driving her aunt's Rolls Royce like a maniac, all is sorted out and justice prevails. Two mediocre songs are sung, "I'm The Captain's Kid" and "Drifting Along." leave a comment
