Three practical jokers see Bernice and, struck with her smart appearance, decide to make her acquaintance. In front of Bernice's home, Jack plots with Dave and Harry to play sick and for them to bring the lady doctor to his apartment at once. Now Bernice overhears their little scheme, decides to carry the deception through and, when Dave and Harry call and tell her of Jack's illness, she boldly takes her sister's medicine case and goes to Jack's apartment, diagnoses his "illness" as a very dangerous fever and orders him into quarantine! Jack is dumbfounded, but decides to see the thing through. Bernice now orders Dave and Harry home to disinfect their clothing. Jack manages to give them the distress signal as they exit and, after spilling the disinfectant over themselves, secure a long ladder and go back to rescue Jack. Meanwhile, Bernice doses Jack with some powders she finds in the case and returns to her sister's office. Dave and Harry gain entrance through Jack's window and a poker game is in progress when a terrible racket is heard outside. It is Ann, who, upon hearing of how Bernice gave Jack some powders, thinks they are deadly poison and has rushed to the rescue. The boys quickly get the poker things out of sight, Jack whitens his face with powder and stretches out on the couch just as Ann and Bernice burst in. After some royal good fun, matters are explained and the boys swear off on lady doctors and disinfectants. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
