Harold Lloyd plays (Ezekial Cobb), a missionary's son who has spent his entire life in China. Cobb is sent to his father's home church in California, and is befriended by politician Jake Mayo (George Barbier). Mayo is a crooked political machine who plans to set up a "reform" candidate for mayor.  The candidate suddently dies, so Mayo sets up the innocent Cobb as the mayor-to-be--a "cat's paw" to hind the corruption in the system. But once elected, Cobb takes his duties quite seriously and begins to clean up the town.
