...comparison to the way many Englishmen feel and talk about the U. S., the Kipling "rebuke" by allegory and innuendo actually was "frank and familiar."

Henry Wilton, pompous, ultra-puritanical pillar of the community suffers an attack of amnesia. With all inhibitions medically banished into oblivion, he proceeds to bedazzle himself in loud golf clothes, flirt with boarding house girls, reel off on a drunken spree, precipitate a brawl in the country club, and in other ways prove himself at heart a real, human personality.
