Mabel flirts with the handsome actor playing "Hamlet" and meeting him at the stage door after the performance, leaves Wiggins flat and accompanies the actor to a drug store for an ice cream soda. Freddy has observed all this and tells Wiggins where his girl has gone. Wiggins wants to throw something at the actor, but Freddy stops him and leads him off to a friend of his, a prize-fighter, to teach him how to box so he can lick the actor. At the training quarters, Wiggins proves such a joke that Freddy leaves him in disgust. He trails the actor and Mabel again and overhears the villain promise to make her a famous actress if she will go with him. She consents and then Freddy decides to butt in. He changes places with the driver of the cab in which the pair are about to take a ride, and drives them to a lonely spot where the cab breaks down. He then jumps down and pulling the actor out of the cab denounces him and they fight. Freddy trounces the actor, who runs. Taking the harness off the horse, and detaching it from the cab, Freddy assists the girl to mount, then mounts himself and they ride home, while the actor is left to walk the railroad track back to town.
