In a lunch room a policeman is deeply engrossed in consuming an inviting spread. While his attention is distracted Jerry pours a large quantity of tabasco sauce in his coffee. A few moments later, after the officer has attempted a drink, the restaurant is in an uproar, and when the excitement has died down Jerry is in the seat vacated by the officer and enjoying the remainder of the meal. Sighted by the proprietor Jerry anticipates trouble and wisely exits hastily. He winds up, after several disastrous incidents, at a grocer's shop. A prominently displayed sign offering a job to a good strong man interests Jerry and he applies. He is engaged, but after catching sight of the proprietor's pretty daughter, work no longer holds any attraction, for him. The proprietor reproves Jerry who, annoyed, chucks him in a barrel of water and hoists the barrel by means of a pulley and rope high up in the rafters of a barn. Meanwhile, the store offers a fine opportunity for a pair of robbers, who make the best of their chance by carting out everything movable in the place. The proprietor's cries from the barn attract a group of policemen who release him. He enters his shop, is dumbfounded to see his stock and fixtures gone and glancing to the door he finds the robbers, aided by a policeman, placing the last thing, a safe, into the wagon. More excitement follows, in the course of which Jerry is discovered in an adjoining room entertaining the girl at the piano. Angered at Jerry's ill-performance of duty, the shopkeeper has him arrested, but not for long as Jerry seeks and finds an avenue of escape. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
