Jean Paul Batiste Fippany (Leo Carrillo) and his family live a vagabond lifestyle with no home but their traveling wagon.
Cecile Fippany (Majorie Weaver), Jean Paul's wife, has been secretly saving money to move into a home.
When Jean Paul finds the money, his gambling addiction takes over and he loses the entire savings.
Youngest daughter Addie (Jane Withers) catches the attention of policeman Matt Hibbard (Kane Richmond) when she leaves her coat in exchange for coffee and doughnuts.
Addie and her father begin selling bathtubs for a big profit, which earns them enough money to purchase the fire station building.
