On a birthday drunk, Paul Revere Watson imagines himself as his Revolutionary War namesake in this musical comedy revue. His ride to warn the citizenry is interrupted by stops at the local pubs, rendezvous with housewives, and a shipboard Boston Tea Party complete with dancing girls.
Shemp Howard has a small role as Revere's stableman.
Cast members Gene and Kathleen Lockhart are the parents of actress June Lockhart (SERGEANT YORK, LASSIE, LOST IN SPACE, PETTICOAT JUNCTION).
