Sir Hector arrives in a most unconventional fashion- inside the mummy case in which he has had himself expressed, so as to escape being quarantined in New York for a well- developed case of mumps. His identity is discovered and kept secret by the cleverest gtirl pupil in the school, partly to save him from arrest for breaking quarantine and partly because there is another Sir Hector in the field, impersonating - ' him. The complications. multiply, and one farcical situation crowds closely upon another, each more uproariously funny than its prede- cessor. The hilarity is also pro- moted hy the inimitable man-of- all-work, who has three men's work to do but doesn't do itg by Bris-ky, the giddy youth who im- Hector, and by his pal, Billy by the of the school, by a girl reporter, and perscnates Sir equally giddy prize dumdora terribly nosey by a hick sheriff.

SYNOPSIS Paul and Henry are struggling to achieve fame and fortune in litera- ture and art. Utter failure is their's until one of Henry's paintings, ac- cidentally displayed upside down, is enthusiastically purchased by an art collector, and the impressionistic painter becomes the talk of the town. Paul, following the hunch, writes his stories backward, and success follows swifty. But some innocent fibs are told for reasons of n-ecessity, and the pals find themselves headed straight for trouble. Their love affairs go awry, and in the predicaments that follow as a result of their propensity for spinning yarns, they find success an empty thing. Of course it all comes out happily. As has been said before, They all lived happily ever after. - an
