As described in a film magazine review, [2] Dan Williams, a burlesque dancer from a small town, lands a minor part in a Broadway musical comedy. The press agent for the play puts out some ballyhoo publicity asserting that Dan is drawing down $3000 a week. His mother back home, based on the story, assures the banker father that Dan will come to the rescue when a run on the town bank is threatened. Dan hears of his father's financial embarrassment and, with the aid of the press agent, comes up with a scheme to stop the run on the bank. He shows up in the town in a Rolls-Royce car with two satchels under heavy guard. With the bank run ended, his father is surprised when the satchels are found to contain not money but some stones. He wins the affections of his hometown sweetheart.
