The only thing that Pokes and Jabbs know or cared about was that they were ordered to deliver one safe and return with another one. Lark, the lawyer, who had ordered the new safe had accepted from his friend Shark some valuable papers, which Robin, a clerk in Shark's office, but in reality the spy of a foreign government, was anxious to obtain. After an arduous journey Pokes and Jabbs arrive at the office building where despite the protests of Lark that it was he and not Shark that had ordered the new safe, the terrible truckmen deliver the safe in Shark's office. Then they forcibly take from Lark's office his own safe in which Robin disguised as a girl had concealed himself. On their way back to the store with Lark's safe, Pokes and Jabbs get stuck fast on the railroad tracks in front of an oncoming express. With a crash and thud the train hurls them high in the air but with the good luck that always accompanies the pair they fall through the roof of the office building and back into Lark's office, safe, Robin and all.
