Comedy.

Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 18 August 1917, page ?] With only a hammer Luke can soon take the mote out of any motor, and as the handy man around a garage he shows himself to be some fixer, while Snub has to have a lot of tools to do his work too. We have with us also Miss Speedboy, played by Bebe Daniels, and Bud Jamison as the garage owner adds the finishing touch. The climax comes when the garage catches on fire, and Luke puts it out by pouring all over it the gasoline which he sells at $1 a drop. “It is better to fight fire with than water itself,” says he.
