The story centered on Wall Street clerks Elmer Peters (Lester Allen) and Gerry Brooks (Paul Frawley) who vacation above their means at Onawanda Lodge, an exclusive vacation spot for millionaires located in the Thousand Islands and a stone’s throw from the Canadian border. Everyone assumes the boys are rich, and soon the fellows meet and fall in love with the wealthy Virginia Rollins (Irene Delroy) and Babs Green (Rogers). Gerry and Virginia team up, as do Elmer and Babs, but complications arise when Gerry is asked to pilot the speed boat owned by Virginia’s father in an international boat race. Gerry is then approached by a rival of Virginia’s father who promises him $50,000 if he’ll throw the race. He accepts $25,000 instead, but wins the race anyway. When news of the bribe comes to light, he blithely states that he accepted it because if he’d turned down the money the rival would have come up with another scheme to throw the race. Arthur Pollock in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle observed that Gerry’s conduct is excused because “everybody seemed to think that was perfectly all right.”
