Zasu Pitts stars as Aunt Emma, a middle-aged spinster who comes to the Big City to visit her prize fighting nephew Mickey. When she finds that Mickey is involved with gangsters, she tries to bring them to justice with the help of a crusading journalist Terry (Roger Pryor). But the mobsters mistake Aunt Emma for a renowned murderess and extend her all the courtesies as if she were one of them. (official distributor synopsis)
