He calls up a plumbing establishment and the boss sends Fatty, a workman, to make the repairs. Fatty has just caused trouble at the Jones residence and is somewhat unstrung. When Fatty arrives at the Jinks home he is conducted into the kitchen and shown the meters. He locates the trouble, but, unfortunately, he connects the water pipes with the gas meter, and vice versa. Then the trouble begins. The cook, attempting to light the gas stove, is deluged with water and Jinks, who, impatiently waiting in the bathroom, tosses a match in the bathtub, is startled when he is greeted by a flame. Fatty makes an ignominious retreat and Jinks sends for another plumber. Fatty is about to enter the shop when he sees his boss waiting for him with a piece of lead pipe and changes his mind.
