Lloyd is a meek missionary in China who travels to America to find a wife. Instead, he gets nominated for mayor in a corrupt city and unexpectedly wins. He is ineffective against the gangsters while in office, so takes matters into his own hands and threatens to behead them! It's difficult to imagine Lloyd's innocuous "boy in glasses" character as judge, jury and executioner, but his methods are quite effective. Unfortunately, the dialogue is littered with now politically incorrect ethnic slurs, and Lloyd dubbed in Chinese is ludicrous.
