One Sunday morning Mrs. Hudson arises and wakes up Bill to go to church with her. He simply turns over. She dresses and before leaving reproaches him for his lack of religion. He listens to her lazily and goes to sleep again and Mrs. Hudson goes to church alone. An hour later he looks out of the window and sees the boy leave a Sunday paper on the front stoop. He goes down stairs in his pajamas, makes a quick dash out of the front door to get the paper when lo, the door slams and Bill finds himself locked out. He tries to open the door in vain. His predicament suddenly becomes worse when he sees his wife, with the minister and several others returning home from church. Bill makes a wild dash for the rear of the house and with the aid of a ladder starts to re-enter his bedroom. Mrs. Hudson and the minister get a glimpse of the strange figure on the ladder and conclude it is a burglar. They send for the policeman, who climbs the ladder to arrest the supposed burglar, but Bill resents the policeman's attack and a battle royal ensues in which Bill is badly battered up by the policeman who is dragging him out in triumph when he is recognized by the frightened Mrs. Hudson and her neighbors. They have difficulty in convincing the policeman that he is not a burglar, but after due explanations the policeman apologizes and Bill promises to be good and become a better church member in the future.
