The janitor, called by his alarm clock, to which he had attached a feather which tickled his feet, slept underneath the tank in the gym and had a trap door through which he emerged. Gladys was the belle of the ladies' department, and Al of the men's. Sand Dow flirted with the girls, and Mrs. with the men. At last each had an idea. They called the janitor and told him to bring disguises in which they would look like each other. When they emerged even the janitor was completely fooled. It was too hot so they closed the gym and went to the beach. San Dow had a wonderful time with the girls, and Mrs. had a lovely time with the men. But the sweethearts were each planning a chance to get together. Each party got into swimming suits as quickly as possible. The men had brought a lunch, but the girls had none, so San Dow decided to go fishing. He used his own carcass for bait, and came up with fishes hanging on his person. The janitor was instructed to cook the fish, and the girls sat down to wait. The other party was lunching, and the janitor got mixed and threw the fish to the men instead of the girls. Sand Dow went to remonstrate and recognized his wife. He snatched Gladys and ran. Mrs. decoys Al. He opens a sandwich and puts sand in it, giving it to her. As she sputters he makes a getaway and rejoins Gladys. San Dow comes up and fights Al, while Mrs. fights him for Al. The husband and wife recognize each other. Dan beats it with Gladys and Mrs. follows. After a chase, the picture ends in a pie fight. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
