The government officials of Klopstokia, where everyone has outstanding athletic abilities, decide to enter their country in the Olympic Games.

In debt-ridden Klopstokia, a faraway country in which all men are named George and all women Angela, and the chief exports, imports and inhabitants are goats and nuts, the President, who has more physical strength than mental agility, struggles to prevent a coup d'état by his cabinet, which would be accomplished if one of them beats him in arm wrestling. The President's daughter Angela falls in love with American brush salesman Migg Tweeney, who advises the President to endow his country in the Los Angeles Olympic Games because his millionaire boss, Mr. Baldwin, has always loved athletics and wants to endow the winning team. The Cabinet, meanwhile, headed by the Secretary of the Treasury, meets secretly to hire Mata Machree, whom no man can resist, to create dissension among the men of the Klopstokian Olympic team. On the boat to America, Mata succeeds in making each athlete believe she loves only him. The team is temporarily diverted when their train is commandeered by Angela's mischievous little brother Willie and arrives in San Francisco, instead of Los Angeles, but, with Migg's help, the Klopstokians soon finds their way to the Olympics. However, the night before the games are to begin, when Mata shows up for her respective rendezvous with the team members, they realize that they are all in love with her and start a huge brawl. The next day, they are too injured and depressed to fight until Angela, who possesses the physical prowess typical of her countrymen, enters the high diving contest with Mata and holds her under water until she confesses her part in the cabinet conspiracy. The re-invigorated men then go on to win their events. In the final weight lifting competition, the President bests his rival, the Secretary of the Treasury, when Miggs steps on his sore foot to goad him into throwing 1,000 pounds, thus making him the winner of medals in both weight lifting and the shot-put. With Klopstokia now the champion Olympic team, Miggs introduces the President to Baldwin, who happily throws the President, making the President delighted to meet his match and save his country.
