Betty’s father invents a camera‑like device that emits an ultra‑lavender ray, temporarily stripping its target of inhibitions.

Instead, Charley gains confidence, wins Betty’s affection, but his boldness lands him in legal trouble after assaulting a bullying police officer, leading to a courtroom showdown.
