Successful movie director John L. Sullivan, convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to "know trouble" first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion, he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.
John L. Sullivan believes he cannot direct a true masterpiece without first experiencing the misery of the common man. This misguided quest for authentic suffering transforms into a breezy, heartfelt romp through the Great Depression.
