In a remote broadcast from the small town of Oswego Falls, the Refrigerall radio show announces that local resident Lawrence Trent is the $5,000 winner of their slogan contest. Larry states that he plans to use the money to marry his sweetheart, Sharon Knight, who is currently working in New York as secretary to patents attorney James Mitchell. In New York, meanwhile, confidence man Boris Kabikoff plans to swindle Mitchell by getting the attorney to finance his phony mechanical man, which is nothing more than his blonde-obsessed assistant, Eddie, in a robot suit. While Kabikoff waits outside, Mitchell is warned by his ex-wife's attorney, McAneny, that he will be jailed if he fails to pay his back alimony in twenty-four hours. Larry then arrives at Mitchell's office to propose to Sharon, and Mitchell and Kabikoff overhear him state that he has $5,000. They trick Larry into investing his $5,000 in a ten percent interest in "Ivan the Robot." After depositing Larry's down payment of $2,000 in the bank, Mitchell and Kabikoff retire to the lawyer's home, where Ethel, Mitchell's blonde ex-wife, tries to sneak in, only to be detected by Eddie, who is dressed as Ivan. The next day, McAneny arrives at Mitchell's office to inform the lawyer that he has attached the entire $2,000. Mitchell and Kabikoff then trick Larry in paying them the remaining $3,000. At lunch, Sharon shows Larry a telegram from the Imperial Research Corporation, warning Mitchell that Kabikoff, their former employee, has stolen their incomplete mechanical man, and "any attempt to patent same will result in injunction suit." Larry asks Sharon not to show anyone the telegram, then heads back to Oswego Falls. Meanwhile, Eddie, as the robot, is reduced to doing the housework for Mitchell's maid, Chloe, and scaring the gambling butler, Burgess, by dressing as a ghost. After watching Mitchell put Larry's $3,000 in his safe, Chloe calls Ethel and tells her old mistress of this latest "deposit." That night, Ethel breaks into the safe while Eddie talks on the phone with his girl friend. The next day, Larry's hometown friends, Mayor Wilfred Smun and Sylvanus Boogle, arrive at Mitchell's office, pretending to be millionaire investors interested in Ivan. They insist, however, that there be no other partners, so Mitchell and Kabikoff try to convince Ethel to give them back the money to buy Larry out. She agrees to meet with Larry and the millionaires that night at Mitchell's home. After some persuading, Larry agrees to sell out, just as the love-crazed "Ivan" breaks into a department store to steal a blonde mannequin. Benson then arrives at the Mitchell home and exposes Kabikoff's deception. Larry, Sharon, Smun and Boogle all head back to Oswego Falls, while the police finally capture Eddie after a mad automobile chase.
