Mr. Johnny First arrives in a sleepy western town. After Mr. First starts showing the residents Chaplinesque silent films on his cinematograph, the town's wild inhabitants are tamed by the images on the silver screen, trading glasses of milk and moving pictures for saloons and brawls.
The beautiful dancer Diane falls for First, and so he ends up making a few enemies, including Diane's many other admirers, and the barman who is threatened by the new competition for entertainment. The town bully joins the church choir along with a slew of sultry saloon sirens when they are drawn away from the evils of alcohol and moral depravity
