With no job, no money, and no prospects of getting either, and the landlady demanding the two weeks' rent he owes, things look pretty gloomy. He is accidentally locked out of his room, clad in a pair of pajamas and a gloomy expression. It seems to him that every girl in the world is in the house, and he has some job dodging them. He runs up to the roof to seek refuge there, but finds the air too chilly for his comfort. He sits on the chimney and thus keeps himself warm. The smoke is forced through all the rooms in the house below and the tenants come up to learn the cause. To hide from them, Freddy hides in another chimney and, losing his hold, tumbles down. He lands in a room where he sees a burglar struggling with a woman and trying to relieve her of her jewels. He lends his able assistance and soon has the thief yelling for mercy. He is handsomely rewarded for his bravery and proclaimed a hero by those who had come to lynch him for stuffing up the chimney. He makes the landlady happy by paying her the two weeks' rent he owes her, and then treats himself to a much-needed bath, for chimneys are not the cleanest places in the world.
