Mr. Smith's friend, a boyhood chum, comes on one train, while Mrs. Smith's friend comes on another, each from a different part of the country. Smith is slow getting ready and when they finally start out they have just a few minutes to make their respective depots. Smith hurries to the wrong depot and is pulled for speeding. He and his wife are taken to the police court. Meanwhile, at one depot his friend arrives, and seeing no one to meet him, sets out for the house. At the other depot, Mrs. Smith's chum arrives and decides to make for the house. She arrives first and finds the house locked. She manages to make her way inside and goes up to a room where she is refreshing herself, when she hears a noise below. It is Eddie who has just arrived at Smith's house and found a window open. He is on a tour of investigation, thinking burglars are inside. He creeps upstairs, where he hears a noise and peeks in the keyhole. The girl sees no way to escape and is busily packing up her presents and valuables. Eddie locks the door and rushes downstairs, telephones the police that a burglar is robbing the house. She decides to slip out the window. Eddie sees two policemen passing and hails them, telling them he has captured a woman burglar and has her locked upstairs. Meanwhile, Mrs. Smith has gone to meet her friend and finds the train has been in some time. Fearing her friend is lost, she sets out for home. Smith, too, has tried to locate his friend, but has no success, and starts for home. Things at the Smith's home have been moving swiftly. The cops have arrested the girl and are taking her to jail, when they meet the police she had 'phoned for. Then they take Eddie into custody, too. Mrs. Smith arrives home and finds the place in confusion, and the 'phone bell ringing. Her girl chum calls her up and tells her to come get her out of jail, which Mrs. Smith hastens to do. Smith comes home, finds the house open, rooms in disorder and the 'phone ringing. It is his friend, wanting him to come get him out of jail. Smith promises to come right down. Mrs. Smith gets her chum out and they arrive home, the girl tells of her resourcefulness when confronted with a desperate masked burglar and how she saved the house. Smith gets his friend out and is astounded when he tells him how he saved the house from being plundered by a desperate woman Raffles, and how he captured her. They arrive home. Smith takes him in to introduce him to his wife. He comes face to face with his "burglar girl," who has been helping Mrs. Smith in the kitchen. Both try to escape and beg each other not to shoot. The story closes when Mr. Smith and his wife come in and make the two "heroes" acquainted, and as each of them has something on the other, there is a chance that they will be able to get along amicably in the future.
