The Clean Up

The Clean Up centers around Monte Bixby, who receives only one dollar from his grandfather's will while the other native-born citizens of the town are granted $50,000 each. Monte's fiancée, Mary Reynolds, leaves him, but Phyllis Andrews, his grandfather's secretary, steps in to assist him during this tumultuous time.

As Monte navigates his unexpected financial situation, the townspeople embark on wild spending sprees, leading to a humorous look at wealth and its consequences. The film features notable performances from Herbert Rawlinson and Claire Adams, along with a cast that includes Herbert Fortier, Margaret Campbell, and Frank Farrington, providing a glimpse into early 20th-century comedy.
