Plot

James P. Alden (Sydney Greenstreet), an automobile tycoon who's being pushed to retire, assumes the identity of family gardener Herman Brinker (Alan Hale, Sr.) and, hoping to prove he's still vital, buys a corner gas station with Greg Wilson (Dane Clark), who doesn't know his true identity. This complicates matter when he falls for Alden's daughter Marcia (Martha Vickers). Along the way, the two men also grapple with shakedown artists and numerous false arrests due to mistaken identity.
