At the Governor's party he tries to please the host's daughter, but only manages to make himself ridiculous by his awkward actions. He almost ruins the party, and the Governor in disgust declares that his daughter will never marry such a jelly fish. Then Clarence's aunt champions him, and proudly tells the assemblage that Clarence's great grandfather was a bold, bad pirate. Here the story takes up the pirate sequences, which are well handled, both in scenic qualities and acting The exploits of the pirate in subduing his mutinous crew single handed are full of clever comedy stunts. It is an extravaganza of the musical comedy variety, and the pirate atmosphere is realistic and entertaining. Fred Pangborn is featured, and does his best work in the pirate sequences. The kick come when the aunt concludes her story which has changed Clarence into a regular he-man. He asserts himself, clears the room with a handy sword, and kidnaps the daughter.
