The story

A Scottish town's powerful provost (mayor) struts and brags about his city "improvements" while the cowed villagers are sullenly forced to put up with him. A free-spirited English reporter is brought from London to work for the local newspaper and soon clashes with the autocrat—while falling in love with his daughter. He strikes out against the provost by taking up the cause of a poor woman who sells ice cream from a pushcart, and has dared to protest against the provost's new "dog tax".
