Oliver Hardy is a country doctor in the Deep South of Mississippi. His daughter gets engaged against the wishes of the man's parents, who conspire for the rest of the movie to sabotage the couple. Meanwhile Hardy is called to a circus sideshow to treat a sick elephant. It turns out he only had a knot in his tail, but the grateful elephant follows him around afterwards. This leads to the big set piece, a fancy ball in a mansion that Hardy and elephant crash. It's pure fluff with the usual Hollywood stereotypes of Southern aristocrats and their black servants for comedy relief.
