A homeless man named McKeever (Victor Moore) has a yearly ritual of taking over the boarded-up home of local millionaire Michael J. O’Connor (Charles Ruggles). However, he takes pity on a man recently cast out on his ear and opens the home to others who have lost their way. When O’Connor’s daughter, Trudy (Gale Storm) discovers the set-up she fakes a life of poverty to stay in the house, eventually coercing O’Connor himself to masquerade and see what’s going on in his home.
