Fresh from the country, Sylvester Tibble obtains a six dollar-a-week job at his Uncle Enoch Jones's antiquated jug business. One night he drifts into a cabaret and meets dancer Junie Budd who teaches him her profession. They become dancing partners and make a big hit on Broadway. Returning home from a prolonged business trip, Sylvester discovers that Harkins, a rival jug manufacturer, is about to buy out his uncle. Previously denounced as a "dancin' fool" by his Uncle Enoch, Sylvester now saves the business with an influx of new orders gained through his modern business techniques. Sylvester then enters into business partnership with his uncle and a marriage partnership with Junie.
