A meek Belgian soldier (Harry Langdon) fighting in World War I receives penpal letters and a photo from "Mary Brown", an American girl he has never met. He becomes infatuated with her by long distance. After the war, the young Belgian journeys to America as assistant to a theatrical "strong man", Zandow the Great (Arthur Thalasso). While in America, he searches for Mary Brown... and he finds her, just as word comes that Zandow is incapacitated and the little nebbish must go on stage in his place.

Taglines

He couldn't tear a piece of paper without losing his breath- he isn't big enough to carry a chip on his shoulder- but the muscles around his funny bone bulge like blisters on a balloon tyre. (Print ad- Sunday Mail, ((Brisbane, Queensland)) 13 February 1927)
Strong in the back, but weak in the dome! "The Strong Man" is the best big full length comedy Harry ever made. (Print Ad- Gazette and Bulletin, ((Williamsport, Penna.)) 1 December 1926)
Sampson, Hercules, Atlas and Sandow- just saplings compared to our strong man-he's a Titan of titters-the giant of giggle-getters- the nation's strongest gloom-buster! (Print Ad-L'Anse Sentinel, ((L'Anse, Mich.)) 23 January 1927)
