That's almost a guaranteed disaster to plug in cold-turkey. Likely no serious damage, as long as the power transformer didn't get left on long enough to burn up. That would take several minutes, and you'd probably have blown the house circuit breaker. You probably lost a few capacitors and the 5U4 tube, along with a B+ resistor or two.
Definitely the set needs to be completely re-capped, and then troubleshot-repaired as needed.
