Reginald "Reggie" Burroughs est en Europe depuis 15 ans. Il est étudiant à Oxford lorsqu'il apprend que ses tantes terriblement guindées le rappellent à New York pour s'occuper des affaires de la famille. Ne voulant pas abandonner sa fiancée Marjorie Threadwell, Reggie se met d'accord avec son compagnon de chambre, surnommé "Mr. Fix-It" à cause de son talent à consoler les cœurs brisés, pour que ce dernier prenne sa place à la tête de la famille Burroughs. Le prenant pour Reggie, les tantes lui disent qu'il doit se marier avec Olive Van Tassell et que sa sœur doit épouser Gideon Van Tassell. Comme les deux femmes sont en fait amoureuses d'autres hommes, Mr. Fix-It refuse d'épouser Olive et va aider les deux jeunes femmes dans leurs histoires d'amour. Lorsqu'il rencontre Mary McCollough et ses nombreux frères et sœurs, Mr. Fix-It les invite tous dans la propriété des Burroughs, où ils vont gagner le cœur des vieilles tantes. Puis après quelques péripéties, il gagnera le cœur de Mary.

The opening has the dashing Earl of Huntingdon besting his bitter enemy, Sir Guy of Gisbourne, in a joust. Huntingdon then joins King Richard the Lion-Hearted, who is going off to fight in the Crusades and has left his brother, Prince John, as regent. The prince soon emerges as a cruel, treacherous tyrant. Goaded on by Sir Guy, he usurps Richard's throne. When Huntingdon receives a message from his paramour, Lady Marian Fitzwalter, telling him of all that has transpired, he requests permission to return to England. King Richard assumes that the Earl has turned coward and denies him permission. The Earl seeks to leave in spite of this, but is ambushed by Sir Guy and imprisoned as a deserter. Upon escaping from his confines, he returns to England, endangering his life and honor, to oppose Prince John and restore King Richard's throne. He finds himself and his friends outlawed and Marian apparently dead.
