...America for embezzlement (of which, strange to say, he is really guilty); with them comes a third pal, the unknown and unknowing Spoofy, a victim of gas aphasia with a penchant for "lifting". From this combination, aided by convenient coincidences, innumerable droll situations arise, genuinely comic, of the type not wit but humor.
