Josephine Bonney, the mayor of Bonneyville and a former schoolteacher, is besieged by town citizens demanding action when a gang of ruthless racketeers establishes a "Merchants' Protective Association" and roughs up any who do not join. The drive to recall Jo is led by attorney Fred Morgan, a would-be candidate for her job, who is actually the boss of the racketeers, assisted by businessman Daniel J. Roman. Jo assures her constituents that she is sending for a man who can control the situation, after which she secretly hires Pete Braddock, a former pupil who has retained affectionate feelings for her in spite of his own decline into gangsterism. Despite her sister Lydia's distrust of Pete, Jo is certain that he can go straight and clean up the town from which he ran away fifteen years ago. Jo introduces Pete to police chief Dave Evans as John Wilson, a special investigator from Chicago
