The story revolves around Horace J. Fletcher, the overly proud owner of the Fletcher American Cheese Co. Fletcher convinces the U.S. government to declare war on Switzerland as they are protesting a new bill imposing a fifty percent tariff on imported cheese. When you add in two pairs of star-crossed lovers, an overbearing mother, a suspicious government official, and a strange man who keeps popping up at random times, this 1920's political satire is a thoroughly cheesy romp!
