The naive American, Mr. John West, played by Porfori Podobed as a Harold Lloyd type complete with enormous round glasses, is a YMCA president who is planning a trip to the newly founded Soviet Union to spread the idea of the YMCA. His wife, Madge, is worried that Russia is full of savage Bolsheviks who wear primitive rags and fur for clothing, as depicted in American magazines. He takes along his cowboy friend Jeddie played by Boris Barnet for protection and as a companion.However, on arriving in the USSR his briefcase is stolen, he gets separated from Jeddie and he falls into the hands of a group of thieves, including a rundown Countess played by Aleksandra Khokhlova, who masquerade as counterrevolutionaries. The thieves play on Wests fears and engineer his abduction by crooks dressed up as caricature Bolshevik barbarians. The thieves then rescue West from the clutches of these fictional Bolsheviks, extorting thousands of dollars from him along the way. ........
