The inimitable Billy Quirk needs a wife in order to inherit his vociferous western uncle's fortune. Billy borrows his friend's wife. After a volcanic and side-splitting series of incidents, the breezy western uncle blows into town tagging with him a pretty stenographer. Well, you leave it to Billy. He gets rid of his borrowed wife in a hurry. And the uncle, what's the use! The story is as funny as a wooden leg would be on the Statue of Liberty.

Stan and Ollie are salesmen attempting to sell a washing machine; they fail constantly after several near misses.

A police van eventually carts all those involved away except Stan and Ollie, who afterwards try to find their own headgear amongst the hundreds of others lying on the street.

During World War I, Jeanette Gontreau becomes a "godmother" to three Allied soldiers imprisoned in a German camp. Describing herself as an old woman, she sends them cheerful letters and baskets of small gifts until one of the soldiers, Harry Ledyard, informs her that he has been released and will visit her in New York. Panic-stricken, Jeanette dons a wig and spectacles, and although she convinces Harry that she is old and gray, she soon falls in love with him. Harry worships his "godmother," and when secret service agents discover coded messages on her letters, he shields her by assuming the blame.

As early as 1919, Russian Communists (then known as Bolsheviks) were convenient movie villains. This heavy-handed comedy uses the Russian revolution as an excuse for a series of slapstick set pieces.

On a trip to a small village Mr. Jones overhears two separate men showing a picture of his wife and talking about going to see her when they go to the city. He jealously follows them to the depot and then to his house. Once there he ties them up and waits for his wife’s return. Just when everything looks to take a murderous turn in walks their maid, Belinda. Belinda admits it was she who sent pictures of her mistress fearing she herself was too plain to catch a man’s attention. Mr. & Mrs. Jones see the ludicrous side and all is forgiven.
