Deciding that it is too cold in the north, Ned orders his valet to pack for a trip to Florida. His valet helps him on with his coat, puts a tooth brush in their bag, and they are off. Colonel Tolliver is giving a party to announce the engagement of his daughter, Virginia. Escaping the crowd by going into the hall the girl and her affianced husband fool around a bit and break a large mirror. In order to kill the jinx, her father decides that they must have thirteen people at the supper table, and as there are only eleven present he sends his butler out to bring in the first two people he meets. These two happen to be Nervy Ned and his valet, just arrived from the cold and heartless North. They are, strangely enough, much pleased with the invitation to dinner, especially so since it has no labor attached to it. During the dinner Ned has a lot of fun with a piece of steak and some Tabasco sauce, while his valet amuses himself collecting jewels, etc. A special detective has his number and attempts to arrest him, but Ned comes to his rescue and taking the official's badge when he isn't looking, takes the prisoner away himself, loot et al.
