A broad satire of American ignorance of the Soviet Union, the film centers on the misadventures of the naive Harold Lloyd-esq American, John West (Porfiri Podobed). West is a YMCA president from the Cleveland suburb of Brecksville, Ohio who is planning a trip to the newly founded USSR to spread the idea of the YMCA. His wife, Madge, is worried that Russia is full of savage Bolsheviks who wear primitive rags and fur for clothing, as depicted in American magazines. He takes along his cowboy friend Jeddie (Boris Barnet) for protection and as a companion.
