One of the jewels appeals to Jerry and he pockets it, not knowing that its possession forebodes trouble. Alone, he examines the acquisition. While gloating over his sudden wealth two Hindoos appear suddenly before him. They inform Jerry that the jewel he has had been stolen from an idol in their temple and that they have been requisitioned to find the possessor, and return him with the jewel to India, where the owner was to be made a slave. Not being able to compromise the trouble, Jerry is carried to India, where he is taken before the Royal Kazabo, who orders him punished. Jerry, however, anticipates punishment and turns the tables by punishing the Hindoos. Thus he gets out of one room but in doing so he rushes into another occupied by the members of the Kazabo's harem and his favorite wife. To the latter Jerry is at one attracted. This attraction is Jerry's undoing for he spends too much time with her and the Kazabo and his guards are given time to revive. They start on Jerry's trail, capture him and throw him into jail where he has an exciting time. But he neatly escapes and in a rowboat starts back for the good old U.S.A.
