Left in charge of the village's law enforcement, fire department, and justice of the peace duties, lovesick Pokes is overwhelmed by a succession of emergencies, from a gunman on the loose to a barn fire and an interrupted wedding. His frantic efforts to manage every crisis lead to comic confusion and an unexpected romantic revelation.
