Harold Van Pelham (Harold Lloyd) is a young, wealthy American businessman who obsesses constantly about his health, believing he is deathly sick while in reality he is Hypochondriasis. Determined to improve his physical condition with an extended rest in a "tropical" climate, Harold travels by passenger ship with his valet Mr. Pipps (Wallace Howe) and personal nurse (Jobyna Ralston) from California to "Paradiso", a small South American island off the coast of Chile.<ref name=TCM>Transcribed intertitles from a televised presentation of ''Why Worry?'' broadcast on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), June 10, 2018; Turner Broadcasting System, a subsidiary of Time Warner, Inc., New York, N.Y.

The uprising is being organized and incited by Jim Blake (James Mason (American actor)), a greedy "renegade" from the United States, who wants to overthrow Paradiso's government "to further his own financial interests".<ref name=TCM/>
