Bill Stebbins, a drummer with a chronic thirst, arrives at Milgeville, a copper-riveted, iron-bound Sunday town, Sunday afternoon with a parched area in his throat and an idea that nothing but something with an alcoholic stick in it will serve to irrigate that throat properly. The landlord proffers his assistance. He introduces Bill to various expedients by which the Sunday law is dodged, and Bill is always just on the point of getting his drink, but doesn't. And the way this happens is what creates the laughs. In the end, even when Bill thinks he has the drink secured beyond all possibility of accident he loses it again, and is forced to seek assuagement of his thirst in clear spring water. Whether one is on the "dry" or the "wet" side of the fence regarding liquor the story is full of laughs and without an iota of offense. It is a clean comedy, a chain of incidents with a laugh in every one, and a climax that will induce a scream of merriment.
