Summary:

After years of dedicated service, Professor Topaze is summarily fired for flunking his worst student, who happens to be the son of the powerful Baron, a wealthy businessman who stands to make a fortune by peddling a worthless health tonic. All the Baron needs is one man with lots of academic credentials and few scruples to endorse his sparkling water.
