When the Earl of Gurney dies in a cross-dressing accident, his schizophrenic son, Jack, inherits the Gurney estate. Jack is not the average nobleman; he sings and dances across the estate and thinks he is Jesus reincarnated.

As their outrageous schemes fail, the family strives to cure Jack of his bizarre behavior, with disastrous results.
