Mistaken for a cab driver, Clarence Smith good-naturedly drives Mr. Wheeler home, where he promptly offers his services as a handyman who can fix just about anything. The Wheeler family gets to know Clarence and trust him with their secrets, like Wheeler's son Bobbie being in love with girlfriend Violet while being blackmailed by housemaid Della.

Wheeler's lovely daughter, Cora, has an older beau named Tobias whom her dad dislikes. Tobias plants thoughts in the family's heads that Clarence is a con man, out to swindle them. But not only does Clarence convince everyone of his honorable intentions, he wins Cora's heart as well.
