Hook, Line and Sinker
DirectorEdward F. Cline
“Riding a Cyclone of Laughs Through a Broadway Hotel”
Two fast-talking insurance salesmen meet Mary, who is running away from her wealthy mother, and they agree to help her run a hotel that she owns. When they find out that the hotel is run down and nearly abandoned, they launch a phony PR campaign that presents the hotel as a resort favored by the rich. Their advertising succeeds too well, and many complications soon arise.
