Being just a boy, he seeks the farm and naturally enough, he searches out a swimming pool as one of the first necessities of farm life. On arriving at the pool he finds the village boys have preceded him. Being told that the water is fine, he hastens to undress. While indulging, the boys take his clothes, substituting an old suit of their own. Matty is forced to start home in this adornment. On the way home he is stopped by guards from the asylum who question him in regard to an escaped lunatic, a white-haired man who calls himself "Society Sam, the gentleman burglar." Our Universal Boy has no clue to offer, but later meets a man who answers the description of the guards. The fellow tells Matty who he is and urges Matty to assist him in a "haul." Matty ostensibly consents, seeing a chance to capture the man by strategy. They are to meet at the old mill at midnight. All this arranged, Matty hurries back and instructs farmer Horton to saddle him a pony. Matty rides to the asylum and acquaints the superintendent with his news. The guards are to come to the Horton farm at eleven that night. Matty meets the old man at the mill and brings him to the farm house. As the plan for robbery is about to be carried out the guards issue and make their capture. Matty has had his fun and has become a hero in the eyes of the village boys.
