This is a lighthearted look at a lady corporation president and an Irishman running for political office in New York in 1892. It starts out when that rich corporation president, Beatrice Von Furstenberg, refuses to allow her 16-year-old niece marry her heart-throb, one 18-year-old Jeffrey Barrow. So, they plot to have some thugs try to rob Beatrice and let Jeffrey rescue her. Their thoughts are that Beatrice would be so thankful that she'd allow the two to wed.
So Jeffrey goes to find his black-sheep relative, Connor Barrow, who is running for Congress with the help of Tammany Hall. Connor feels sorry for the boy and suggests two heavies to help him. However, the robbery is a debacle and the rest of the story is about how Beatrice and Connor try to straighten the mess out without losing their careers.
