The owner of the paper is backing a candidate for Assemblyman against the town Political Boss. Freddie is abused by the Boss for some trivial incident and becomes a personal as well as business enemy. Election time draws near and Freddie's employer, working for his candidate, draws voting strength from the political boss, who finally decides to employ repeaters at the polls. The night before election, Freddie overhears on the party wire, the Boss giving orders to secrete the gang of repeaters (or "floaters" as they are called) in a certain barn. Freddie arouses his employer, and they vainly try to get the gang arrested, but Freddie succeeds by a ruse, in getting the floaters and their leader locked in the barn. He keeps them there all day, until, when the hour is getting late and the votes are going against him, the Boss sends some huskies to the barn for the floaters. They rescue the gang but the floaters arrive too late to save the day for their Boss, and the new candidate is elected. Freddie is rewarded by his employer and satisfaction reigns supreme.
