When Ann's father sends her to New York to keep her away from Jim, he decides to win her back by pretending to be a responsible and respectable member of society. He lands a job writing for a conservative newspaper and even takes up golf to fit in with Ann's social circle. But just as he begins to win Ann's heart, his past catches up with him and threatens to ruin everything.
Meanwhile, Jim's eccentric father and his equally zany friends cause chaos and confusion wherever they go, making Jim's attempts to win Ann's heart all the more difficult.
