In the City Hall section of New York City, Johnny Rooney sells newspapers and dreams of a future with Molly, who has ambitions for a Broadway career, while Johnny hopes to become a successful politician. Boss O'Brien, of the Sugar Lane district, invites Johnny to a political outing at an amusement park and informs the young man that he is going to run him for assemblyman against Frank Moreland. Meanwhile, Moreland fosters Molly's footlight career, which ends in disaster. Heartbroken, she leaves the district. With election night growing near, Moreland steals Johnny's birth certificate and tries to prove him ineligible for candidacy; Johnny pursues the rival in a fire chief's car, unwittingly kidnaping a foreign prince. The plot against Johnny is revealed, and he is elected and happily united with Molly.
