Bixby, in his nightshirt and slippers steals downstairs to the piazza for the morning paper. He steps out, and, snap goes the spring lock on the front door. Finally deciding to take a desperate chance, he climbs in the only open window. It happens to be an old maid's bedroom, and Mr. Bixbie is promptly chased out again. He runs to the barn for refuge, but the milkmaid sees him and goes for him with a pitchfork. The racket arouses the people in the house, but all they see is Bixbie scudding across the lawn in his night-shirt. On the street he jumps into a carriage, and the sleepy driver, thinking his fare has arrived, whips up the horse. Then follows a thrilling man-hunt, during which Bixby manages to collect, literally on the fly, a silk hat, a Prince Albert coat and vest, a pair of shoes and even a shirt and collar. The Jew from whom he stole the coat and vest tells the police, who join his pursuers. Apparently the whole town is after the fleeing Bixbie, but he manages to elude them all by climbing a high fence and getting up into a tree. There, he puts on his stolen garments, then drops from the tree, properly clothed. Meanwhile, the detectives have been busy, and just as Bixbie walks in for breakfast, they pounce on him. A struggle follows in which the dining room table is overturned and the boarders thrown into a state of wild consternation but the detectives triumph. At the police court the Captain compliments them then, as all the owners of the various garments which Bixbie is wearing are in court, he has him stripped to his nightshirt again and thrown into a cell, to meditate on his crowning dilemma.
