Winthrop Chase is running for mayor on the prohibition ticket in a town where his irresponsible son Wint is infamous for his drunken sprees. Wint is in love with Joan Caretall, whose father Amos is a big political boss.

The morning after the election, Wint awakens from a drunken stupor and finds himself the mayor.
