J ack Shaw FOR PETES SAKE SYNOPSIS Peter Pepperdine has all the qualifications to tit him for a magnilicent liar. NVhen his exasperated aunt, in an eitort to discipline him starts on a summer tour of Palestine without him, he rents her mansion against her expressed desire, to her dearest enemy, the mother of his ladylove. He masquerades as her butler, disguising his pal Bill as her gardener, and Muggsy, the despised college grind, who is supposed to tutor him all sum- mer, as her house maid. All this madcap scheming is planned not only to provide Peter and Bill with ready cash, but to enable them to discover whether their respective lady- loves are flirting with older and wealthier suitors. The boys soon put a crimp in the suitors' wooings, especially after turning Muggsy loose on them to vamp them in his housemaid's disguise. Aunt Sarah spoils everything by suddenly cancelling her trip and returning home. Once again, Peter, while teetering on the brink of comic catastrophe, manages to save himself and Bill by quick thinking and masterly lying, invoking the aid of a spook and some fictitious robbers to cover up his tracks. Of course, all is well that ends well.
