Folksy fun with a couple of travelling fifth rate thespians in perpetual flight from unpaid hotel bills. At one time they try their luck with an impersonation act. They pretend to be chemical scientists with access to secrets that could save the world's energy woes. This makes them popular with everybody in town except the members of a ruthless business elite with quite different designs on the coveted formula. A subplot deals with troubled young love.
