The yard had just completed a ship which is to be turned over to a syndicate of foreign buyers as soon as she is inspected and approved. After many mishaps the ship is accepted and a check is handed the owner of the yards in payment but a wandering breeze carries the precious bit of paper through an open window and Lige starts in pursuit. Back at the shipyards the owner overhears the foreman plotting with some of the men to blow up the ship. The boss plans to nab the men in the act and he sets Lige to help the colored watchmen guard the ship. Lige enters the plant unknown to the watchmen and almost frightens them to death as they have been talking about ghosts. Otto and his pals sneak into the plant and in endeavoring to elude the watchmen back up against a freshly painted lattice work and in the dark they resemble skeletons. When Lige sees them he is sure the place is haunted. Otto and his pals realize that too many queer things are happening about the plant for their comfort and they make haste to plant the dynamite. But in their hurry they drop it and there is an explosion which hurls them through the roof and they drop to the floor with their heads stuck through a plank which holds them and makes them easy prisoners for Lige. The owner arrives and is congratulating Lige upon his bravery in saving the ship and is offering him the hand of his daughter when Lige touches the handle of a trip-hammer and is promptly knocked through the floor.
