Beacher's ambition is political and he succeeds in winning the Progressive Party's nomination for mayor. Helen's aunt, Frances, is a violent advocate of women's rights. She pulls her husband, Uncle Eben, around by the nose. Aunt Frances is disgusted with Helen's contentment with domestic affairs and finally prevails upon her to accept the nomination for mayor on the women's rights ticket. Thus she becomes a rival of her husband in the political field. Poor Helen knows nothing and cares less about politics and her campaign managers lead her into many ridiculous predicaments. Finally Election Day dawns and wanes, and when the ballots have been counted it is discovered that Helen has won the election. This is the last straw for the worn out little woman and she rushes home in an attempt to thrust the office off on her husband. He protests that he cannot receive the gift of office from her, but the dilemma is finally overcome when it is discovered that Helen is not yet of legal age.
