Looking out the window he sees a couple of girls and proceeds to flirt with them. They invite him out, but his wife catches him and promptly brings him back. Jabs, an intruder, climbs up a ladder and into the room where Pokes is at work. Pokes immediately knocks him out and escapes down the ladder, but just misses the girl, so decides to indulge in a revel in the park. This he proceeds to do, getting in wrong, however, and is obliged to beat a hasty retreat up the ladder leading to the bedroom. Meantime Jabs has revived and is chasing Mrs. Pokes over the house when Pokes enters through the window, takes in the situation, knocks Jabs out, tossing him out the window and into the arms of a passing policeman, while Mrs. Pokes beams upon her husband and declares him to be a hero.
