Business millionaire Drogo Gaines is about to marry his fiancé Helen Newton, but fakes a nervous breakdown before his own wedding because he has cold feet. He overhears Helen talk to her brother and mother about them losing Drogo's fortune if the wedding doesn't go through. This makes Drogo decide to call the wedding off entirely.
Helen is furious and refuses to be dumped at the altar like this, attacking Drogo and trying to make it look like he is the one attacking her. Her brother Ed comes to her aid and knocks Drogo out. When Drogo wakes up again he is in a mental institution, and is considered insane and dangerous to others.
At the institution, Drogo meets wealthy eccentric Colonel Carleton Carraway. Carraway has admitted himself to the institution. In the dark of the night, Carraway helps Drogo escape, using a row boat, and they are picked up by carnival operator Penguin Moore.
Drogo falls in love with Oenguin, who is the first girl he has met who doesn't want him for the money. Penguin makes both Drogo and Carraway work for their living with her. (Wikipedia)
