Billy tries to elope with the girl, but the young people's plans are overheard by the old gentleman, who disguises himself in Nellie's cloak and veil and attends the meeting place himself. Father beats Billy up and chases him away from the place after ordering him never to come back. Billy conceives a brilliant idea. With his handkerchief over his face, bandit-fashion, he sneaks up to the Jenkins home that evening and climbs in a convenient window. It happens that Mike has also decided to burglarize that particular house on the same evening, and he gets in by the cellar. He goes up the cellar stairs and emerges into the kitchen. Nellie and her father are upstairs. Billy sneaks up, while Mike advances to the dining room and begins to select silverware. Billy gets the drop on Jenkins, whispers a word to Nellie, which puts her wise and backs out of the place with her. Meantime, the maid runs into Mike and with a scream runs out for the police. Hearing her cry, Billy thinks he is discovered and he and Nelly hide in the dining room. Meanwhile, old man Jenkins collides with the maid and the officer. Not recognizing each other; a general fight ensues. Billy sees Mike watching the scrap from behind some curtains, throws off his disguise and pulls the curtains down. A fierce struggle ensues. Nellie screams for help and the others rush in. Mike is arrested while Billy assumes an appropriate "hero" attitude. With a smile of triumph he asks papa if he can have Nelly now. and Jenkins, with a snort of suspicious distrust, throws up his hands and walks out. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
