Summary
In the quaint, rural setting of a small American town, Charley Chase stars as an endearingly hapless cub reporter, prone to perpetrating outlandish April Fool's jokes. However, his pranks precipitate a catastrophic chain reaction, besmirching his reputation and instilling widespread skepticism amongst the townsfolk. This sidesplitting burlesque skillfully skewers the customary suspicion with which people regard their neighbors on this one day of sanctioned jests. A veritable cavalcade of time-honored practical jokes is showcased, replete with tacks strategically placed on chairs, rubber hammers, and artful ink spots.
Synopsis
Chase appears as a small town cub reporter of the rather "dumber" sort who indulges in some April Fool jokes with results disastrous to himself. A good burlesque on the suspicion with which most people regard their neighbors on the day when every sort of practical joke is adjudged legitimate. About every time-honored practical joke is shown - the placing of tacks on chairs, the rubber hammer and the imitation ink spot.
