The widow didn't like him to the extent of marrying him, and liked him still less when he refused to dispose of a pail of beer with her. Her chance comes when, on the way to the bank to deposit her insurance money, she almost collides with Hans as he staggers out of a saloon with Carl, a friend, and also a mahogany polisher. She calls him to account when he visits her the next day, and to cover up matters, he tells her Carl is his boss, and he had to get intoxicated whenever Carl said so. She is incredulous and asks Hans to bring Carl to the house. In the meantime Hans has flirted with a pretty girl against the wishes of the widow. When Carl comes to her home, the widow becomes infatuated by him. Hans is jealous, and when he attempts to assert himself, Carl, his "boss" tells him to leave the house, as there is much work to be done. Hans can do nothing but leave. He watches Carl and the widow exchange sweet nothings and picks up a stone to throw it through the window, but a policeman is conveniently at hand to prevent the stoning of the amorous Carl. Hans finally goes in and has an argument with Carl. Alternately they hide or are thrown into an empty flour barrel. Carl tells Hans he will withdraw from the race for $100, and Hans accepts the offer. Hans had previously taken the widow out for an auto ride and Hans was obliged to drive the car anywhere Carl directed, the "boss" having been picked up a short distance from the widow's house. Carl rode in the back seat with the widow while Hans acted as chauffeur. When the widow had been left at her house, Hans started the car toward the country. He stopped it in a lonely spot and the men engaged in fisticuffs for a while. Hans goes home and gets the $100 and brings it to Carl's store. Who does he see behind the counter but the pretty girl he flirted with on the street. His thoughts of the widow are banished forthwith and as Carl comes out and asks him for the hundred, Hans tells him he doesn't want the widow, because he is going to marry his clerk. Carl startles him by telling him the girl is his daughter, and if he wants her he will have to spend the hundred anyway. The widow then claims Carl and he tells her he is married and that his wife wouldn't stand for it. There is great excitement in the store, and the picture ends in a whirl of fun.
