A star goes on a cruise under a false name to enjoy his vacation. When people accidently believe he is a wanted criminal he performs a few acts to prove his real identity.

Barney O'Hara (Will Mahoney) and his young daughter Pat (Jean Hatton) tour the carnival circuit with a side show act, but when Pat is asked to sing at a party being given by a wealthy land-owner, her voice fails.

A retired businessman in Scotland, who is also a golf fanatic, will not let his daughter marry an Irish-American boy, Terry O'Reilly. Then one day O'Reilly's father shows up for a "visit"--which, as it turns out, is because he's on the run from the police in New York.
