A story of a perfect gentleman, Elwood P Dowd, and his best friend Harvey, a pooka, who is a six-foot tall, invisible rabbit. When Eldwood  begins introducing Harvey around town, his embarrassing sister, Vet Louse, and her daughter, Myrtle Mae, determine to commit Elwood to a sanitarium. A mistake is made, however, and Vet is committed rather than Elwood! Eventually, the mistake is realized, and a frantic search begins for Elwood and the invisible pooka, which ends with Elwood appearing, voluntarily, at the sanitarium.
