A buoyant pre-code musical comedy built on Eddie Cantor's vaudeville charm, dream-logic fantasy, and elaborate song-and-dance spectacle.

A kind-hearted young man is thrown out of his corrupt home town of West Rome, Oklahoma. He falls asleep and dreams that he is back in the days of olden Rome, where he gets mixed up with court intrigue and a murder plot against the Emperor.
