After a general mix-up with the cops Jerry makes his getaway in the back of an automobile and lands in the country. After impersonating the proprietor of a gasoline station, and nearly blowing the place up, Jerry sees a sign advertising for a school teacher, and meeting the "main squeeze" of the local board of education, he applies for the position. Being accepted, he is taken to the farmer's home, where he meets the local bully, who is in love with the daughter. A bitter rivalry springs up between Jerry and the bully, and things grow lively. They grow livelier still when Jerry assumes his position as teacher of the country school, and Jerry certainly has his troubles. Later, matters reach a climax when Jerry is forced into a mix-up with the bully and a fat boy, and is driven to cover in the farmer's house, where he invades the bedroom of a female member of the household. It ends by Jerry beating a hasty and successful retreat from the concentrated attack of all parties concerned.
