As described in a film magazine,[4] Elmer Slocum (Landis), a wealthy city youth, while trying to elude the police in his high powered automobile, has a smashup and, in a rough and tumble fight with a motorcycle policeman, knocks him out. He is robbed of his clothes by a group of tramps. He tries to hide from the police in a small village in Iowa and there meets Margaret Andrews (Miller), daughter of the richest man in town. He gets a position at a grocery store run by Russ Weaver (Woodruff) and learns that he has a rival for the hand of Margaret in Lon Kimball (Cannon), son of an undertaker. In a fight with Lon, Elmer comes off victorious, but a constable (Rattenberry) arrests him. Things look dark for Elmer until his father Henry Slocum (Cossar) with news that the motorcycle policeman has recovered and all has been forgiven.
