Monty, a "stranger, who could seldom look his watch in the face" because it is so often in the pawn shop, spends more than he earns, and is desperate for a square meal. Through a series of misadventures he becomes a used car salesman, and does so well that his boss selects Monty to deliver a brand new Model T Ford that has been ordered by King Obogeegee of the south sea island nation of Puskudnick. There, Monty gets entangled with lions, rescues a wandering social up-lifter and his daughter, and escapes in the King's car before the lions and the restless natives cook his goose.

An Amateur Devil Synopsis

Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
