They meet Mabel, a friend of Jones, and the three journey on together. Watkins and Jones become jealous of each other, but Lillian smiles on both without discrimination, and serious trouble is averted. The swings make Watkins sick and when Jones rides in the carousel, he becomes ill, so each in turn accompanies Lillian. After an exciting time in a shooting gallery, Jones suggests they all go in bathing. Watkins and Lillian get in the water first and both are soon happy as ducks, splashing and frolicking in the water. Jones arrives, turns purple with jealousy, surreptitiously unties and pulls off the cord holding Watkins' bathing trunks. Obliged to hold up the garment with one hand, Watkins' strange and awkward actions in floundering around, cause Lillian some anxiety and she fetches a life-saver. The latter offers to pull Watkins into the boat, but Mr. Watkins prefers to stay where he is. He then whispers in the life-guard's ear, who chuckles and gives him a rope from his boat. Meantime, a crowd of onlookers have assembled on the beach and Watkins, on coming ashore is greeted with roars of laughter. He is wild with rage, and, finding Jones' bathhouse unlocked, steals the little fellow's clothes and buries them in the sand. Jones, in Watkins' absence, retaliates in kind. The upshot of the whole affair is, Lillian goes home alone, Jones goes home in Watkins' enormous suit of clothes, while the fat man, unable to get into Jones' clothes, is left in the bathhouse cogitating over how he is to get out of the scrape respectably.
