Department store clerk John Percival Billings, an avid reader of romance, falls in love with Suzanna Juárez when he sees her picture on a cigar band. With the lucky dime he receives from a customer he buys a cigar and thereby obtains information that he sells to some conspirators. With the money thus received, John travels to Santo Dinero and meets Suzanna, whose father, President Estaban Juárez, is struggling to avert a revolution. Eventually, John is the means of saving the government and wins Suzanna.
