The Mayor of Filbert

The mayor of Filbert, Ohio--a saloonkeeper named Schmidt--is a crook and a grafter. The local Civic Reform Society and the Prohibition Party ask him to a conference, but during it he slips and hits his head on a heater, knocking himself out. They think he's dead, and when they find a drifter who looks just like the crooked Filbert, they get him to assume the man's identity. As it turns out, the real Mayor Schmidt isn't dead. Complications ensue.
