A "wise old man" named "Uncle Ferdinand" (Adolphe Menjou) and his mischievous young nephew, Tim (William Marshall), accidentally switch bodies. Now, Ferdinand finds himself inhabiting the youthful form of Tim, while Tim is stuck in the elderly body of Ferdinand. This bizarre predicament leads to a series of hilarious and chaotic situations as they try to navigate each other's lives, with Ferdinand desperately trying to maintain his adult responsibilities and Tim reveling in his newfound youth.
