Ethel unfortunately is very short of ready money and in consequence is asked by her landlord to vacate her room at once. As a last desperate resort, Ethel tries to sell a painting of Pokes posing as an archer, but the rebuff handed to her by the critical and unsympathetic art dealer, is the final blow to her spirit, so she resolves to make a getaway from the apartments. She conspires with Pokes to smuggle her trunk from the studio and when the latter comes to remove the trunk he unwittingly locks inside it, the landlord, who, while inspecting its contents and hearing his wife's voice on the corridor outside, had taken refuge in the trunk. Pokes starts to carry the trunk to the railroad station where Jabbs, the baggage man is anxiously awaiting the arrival of a trunk containing a shipment of gold consigned to a local bank. Some crooks, who have learned of the expected shipment of gold mistake Ethel's trunk for that of the treasure chest, overpower Jabbs, and load the trunk with the unfortunate landlord inside, upon a truck which they have commandeered. Upon Ethel's arrival, Jabbs' plight is discovered, the alarm given and the pursuit of the fleeing crooks is started. The police follow the desperate thieves and overtaking them through the help of Pokes and Jabbs finally succeed in releasing the landlord from his perilous position.
