Cop Captain Jim McCarey is in love with her, so he tells her to leave town so he won't be forced to arrest her. However, Peach appears in a stage show organized by Van Reighle Van Pelter Van Doon, his butler Larmadou Graves, and their manager Nifty Bailey. To do this, she uses a false identity by posing as a French artist named Fifi. Police chief John Quade becomes aware of her and tries to get close to her. However, Peaches turns him away, whereupon Quade orders McCarey to close the show on flimsy grounds. McCarey refuses and is suspended. Peaches manages to steal her investigation files and those of Quade's criminal cronies from Quade's office. She encourages the suspended McCearey to run for mayor against Quade. Shortly before an important speech, however, McCarey is kidnapped by Quade's accomplices. Peaches continues the election campaign for him. McCarey escapes his kidnappers and arrives at Madison Square Garden in time for his speech . McCarey wins the election and marries Peaches.
