In a small American town, a man named J. A. "Jaggles" Smith is known for his extravagant personality and his unmistakable need to impress everyone around him. With an air of false grandeur, Jaggles goes to great lengths to stand out, from bragging about his work successes to making ostentatious altruistic gestures that, deep down, are more for his own benefit than from a desire to help others.

As he struggles to maintain his image and win the approval of his family and friends, he becomes entangled in a series of comical situations and misunderstandings that strip away both his vanity and his insecurity.
