When Nellie's employer tried to make love to her, and Joe knocked him down, the thwarted villain swore to wreak a cruel and unusual vengeance upon the pair, which the same he immediately went and started for to do. He was aided in his nefarious plans by a friend in human form, the villainess. She loved Joe, but he was cold. So she decided to make things warm for him. When Joe took Nellie into a corner drug store to buy her an ice cream sody, the villain blew up the soda fountain. The villainess immediately thereafter shut Joe into a folding bed, and when Nellie's prompt assistance spoiled her gentle little plan to crush the young man's neck, she took Joe, with the villain's help, and chained him in the path of an express train. But again, they reckoned without Nellie. Nellie lived up to what was expected of her as the heroine of the piece. She broke the chains and released her hero. The affectionate pair withdrew to a shack for refuge. The villain hurled a bomb at the shack, utterly annihilating it. Joe and Nellie were hurled high into the air. Looking down, they saw their uncouth enemies laughing at them. Incensed by their lack of sympathy, Joe dropped a piece of the window frame, which he had brought with him, on the villain's head. Unfortunately, the villain was only stunned. Hardly had Joe and Nellie reached the ground when the villainess shut Nellie in an office safe, and hurled the safe from the top of a high office building. It took all of Joe's efforts to rush down the stairs in time to catch the safe at the bottom of its terrible fall. But Nellie's brave efforts were all in vain, for after she had rescued Joe from prison, and after a sensational fight with the villainess, interrupted by the inopportune arrival of a mouse, Joe decided to marry the villainess. When dear little Nellie pleaded with him, he gave her a rude push in the face. Then Nellie woke up, and discovered that the mortgage had been renewed on their home, and that she and Joe would not have to work for their living after all.
