Prof. Post (Buster Keaton) is a shy Classics professor at Potts College, who has lived a sheltered life and has little experience of life outside of academia. Feeling that the professor should see more of the real world, his assistant tricks the professor into thinking that he has inherited $750,000, allowing the professor to leave academia and see the world.
Boarding a train bound for New York City, Prof. Post encounters James (Jimmy Durante), the manager of a dancing troupe that has an engagement in the backwater town of Fish's Switch. The professor becomes infatuated with one of the dancers, Pansy Peets (Ruth Selwyn), and accidentally alights at Fish's Switch when attempting to learn her name. He attends a performance by the dancing troupe at the local theatre, and is impressed by their act.
Feeling that the troupe should continue their act, Prof. Potts finances the troupe and takes them to perform on Broadway, but only after James insists that the act be improved to a higher standard. Potts' suggestions of using inspiration from Ancient Greece are taken on board, with some minor alterations, and the show is turned into a grandiose musical revue. Although Potts wishes that Pansy be the leading lady, the show is quickly turned into a star-vehicle for spoiled actress Eleanor Espere (Thelma Todd), who attempts to win over the professor in order to take total control over both the show and the money it is expected to earn at its debut. Pansy attempts to warn the professor of Eleanor's bad influence, with mixed results.
On the night of the show's debut, James discovers that the professor does not really have the $750,000 he believes to possess, and attempts to keep the professor away from the production for fear of ruining it. The professor stumbles on-stage at several points, amusing the audience who think it to be part of the act. However, his antics cause Eleanor to throw a tantrum, and the professor realizes that she does not truly love him as she claimed to, and gives his heart to Pansy.

----- Der von Buster Keaton gespielte „Held“ des Filmes (im Vor-/Abspann werden keine Rollen- bzw. Schauspielernamen genannt) ist ein Herumstreicher, der sich auf einem Volksfest auf eine Stellenanzeige als Kunstschütze bei einer Schießbude bewirbt, ohne eigentlich schießen zu können. Der hünenhafte „Tiny Tim“, Leiter der Schießbude, zieht sich bald in ein Hinterzimmer zurück, wo die Gangsterbande „Blinking Buzzards“ residiert. Diese hat gerade den Auftrag erhalten, den Bürger August Nickelnurser zu ermorden, da dieser kein Schutzgeld zahlen wollte. Inzwischen hat Buster die Treffer-Glocke der Schießbude so manipuliert, dass sie jedes Mal klingelt, wenn er schießt. Der mit seiner Tochter vorbeikommende August Nickelnurser ist davon so beeindruckt, dass er Buster als Leibwächter verpflichtet. Später staunt auch Tiny Tim über Busters Schießkünste, so dass er ihn in die Bussard-Bande aufnehmen lässt und mit dem Mord an Nickelnurser beauftragt. Buster ist verzweifelt ob seiner gegensätzlichen Verpflichtungen.
Nickelnurser hat inzwischen sein Haus mit einer Vielzahl von Fall- und Geheimtüren ausgerüstet. Busters dortige Ankunft wird nicht nur von Nickelnurser, sondern auch der Bussard-Bande erwartet. Auf Busters Anweisung stellt Nickelnurser sich tot, nachdem Buster in die Luft geschossen hat. Die an sich überzeugende Darstellung halten sie leider nicht so lange durch, bis die Bande das Feld geräumt hat, so dass Buster kreuz und quer durch das Haus gejagt wird, eine für Keaton-Filme klassische Akrobatik-Revue. Buster kann nach und nach einen nach dem anderen Gangster ausschalten, zuletzt versenkt er Tiny Tim in einer Falltür.

----- Charlie is an assistant to Izzy A. Wake, a painter and paper hanger. The two men are on their way to a job via a cart. The boss rides in the cart, leisurely sitting atop all their paraphernalia, while Charlie is hitched to the cart like a mule. The boss also treats Charlie like a mule, beating him with a stick to get him to move faster. When the boss opts to take a shortcut up a steep hill, the out-of-control cart descends and is nearly hit by an oncoming streetcar. A second attempt to scale the enormous hill is successful. At the house they are to paper, Charlie becomes distracted by the pretty maid. The boss has a misadventure and falls, his head ending up in a bucket of paste. Meanwhile, the short-tempered homeowner is contending with the threat of an exploding stove and an amorous French visitor who is making passes at his wife. Shots are fired—and the target turns out to be Charlie who has been enjoying the maid's company. An enraged Charlie gives the Frenchman, his boss, and the homeowner each a face full of paste. As the fight moves into the kitchen, the troublesome stove finally explodes. When the dust dies down, Charlie is nowhere to be seen. Slowly the oven door opens. Charlie looks out and retreats back into the stove.
