Illustrious actor and celebrated souse John Barrymore portrays a former Harvard professor and man of letters who has fallen on hard times following the death of his beloved wife. The widower barely manages to support himself and his children by working as a night watchman. His job and parental custody are thrown into jeopardy when his kids get in a fight with the son of a big shot politician who called their dad a “drunk old bummer.” The kids will have none of that, because they know the old man only puts away a quart a day. Luckily, fortune smiles on the literate lush when his vote becomes crucial in the city’s mayoral election.
