In 1908, banker and would-be inventor Felix and his idle, aristocratic friend Murdo, unsuccessful suitor for Felix's sister Winnie, read that the Olympic Games are to take place in London at the exorbitant cost of twelve guineas. Murdo decides to enter the javelin contest to impress Winnie though his training - by Felix - involves drinking and smoking. Meanwhile, Felix is challenged to a duel by the father of Fanny,his betrothed, after opting to see Little Titch at the music hall, rather than get married. Murdo vows to win the event on behalf of the now injured Felix. Will he pull it off or lose out to clean-cut American rival Rex Masters?
