Synopsis

Irish American Michael Cassidy sneaks out one evening to join his buddies at their annual dinner at the Silver Spoon Night Club. There he is knocked unconscious by Simonides, strongman in a troupe of performers, who resents Cassidy's flirting with Madame Vanezlos, another member of the troupe. Cassidy dreams of himself as king of Ireland, cavorting in ancient Greece among the gods and goddesses: Venus, actually Madame Vanezlos; Circe, in real life his wife; and Hercules, in reality Simonides. In time, he becomes ruler of the country by introducing many marvels of modern machinery. Then a rebellion is started against Cassidy and his buzzers, telephones, tanks, and machine guns. In the midst of the battle, Cassidy sees Hercules abducting Venus, and rescues her with the aid of his troops. Cassidy regains consciousness and realizes it was all a dream.
