Peace and Quiet Synopsis

Eddie is a new editor in a typically chaotic newspaper office. To get revenge for an imagined slight, a copy boy mixes the type so that a debutante is described as "wanted by the police." Eddie goes to a sanitarium for peace and quiet. So does the debutante who has been libeled. The sanitarium houses also a bootlegger and a superstitious housemaid. To secure solitude, the bootlegger poses as a ghost and, as a result, the patients get anything but peace and quiet.
