Paraissant sous les barreaux, Buster (alias Frigo pour les copies françaises d'époque) est en fait séparé de sa dulcinée par le portail en fer de sa résidence, symbole du fossé social qui empêche leur union. Elle demande ainsi à son soupirant de réussir d'abord dans les affaires. Après avoir subtilisé un portefeuille fourni, il est la victime d'un escroc opportuniste qui lui vend un stock de meubles sur le trottoir, en fait pour cause de déménagement. Le prenant pour un ouvrier déménageur, la famille l'aide à charger sa charrette. Parti dans les rues de la ville, son attelage se révèle peu fiable et le cheval n'avance pas. Il se retrouve bientôt au beau milieu d'un défilé de policiers. Un terroriste envoie une bombe sur le défilé, mais à côté de Buster, qui en profite alors pour allumer sa cigarette avec la mèche enflammée, puis se débarrasse de la bombe en la jetant sur le côté. Pris pour le terroriste, les policiers se mettent à le poursuivre.

Keaton goes from a golf game with his girlfriend to death-row in prison through a case of mistaken identity. In the film, Buster performs one of the most dangerous sight gags that he performed in vaudeville. In the words of Marie Dressler: Buster would "stand on a table in back of his father twirling a basketball tied to the end of a rope, while his father was trying to shave himself with a straight razor. And that ball kept getting closer and closer, all the sudden, BANG!"

The film is set up as a series of humorous tricks on the audience, with constant doubling, and in which things are rarely what they at first seem to be. It opens with Keaton attending a variety show. In this first sequence, Keaton plays beside him and remarks, "This fellow Keaton seems to be the whole show." This was a gibe at one of Keaton's contemporaries, Thomas Ince, who credited himself generously in his film productions. In interviews with Kevin Brownlow, Keaton claims he gave the director's credit to Cline mainly because he did not want to appear too Ince-like himself: "Having kidded things like that, I hesitated to put my own name on as a director and writer."
