In a rare starring role, character comedian Edward Everett Horton plays a civic-minded patsy named Dudley Dixon who puts his own interests on the back burner so that he can help out his neighbors. In the true spirit of "No good deed goes unpunished," all Horton has to show for his efforts is a wall full of paper citations (silver loving cups, actually) and a mountain of debts (just one debt, really - he owes his sister-in-law $5000). Realizing that he has been taken advantage of by the less honest townsfolk, Horton does a "worm turns" scene, though he continues to extend generosity for the truly deserving.
