Collier Jr. plays Jack, a New York City playboy sent to California to straighten himself out after a string of scandals. His father pairs him with his "responsible" cousin, Ossie, who he does not realize is even more of a partier than his son is, and the two get mixed up with two pretty girls while driving west. Jack decides to marry his girl, but when his ex fiancé shows up and threatens to reveal his past to her, Ossie comes up with a plan to save his relationship.
