Meanwhile, Pa, Ma, and the sheriff, having extricated themselves from the hotel roof, start out in mad pursuit. Ike finds a notice in the paper that $100 will be given to any couple who will be married at Venice on that date. He and Louise decide that this is their chance. The streetcar line running to Venice is robbed by terrible bandit Black Pete; the only item of real value he procures is a silver vanity case. Leaving the scene of his crime, he runs into the road and holds up the very machine which is carrying Louise and Ike to the beach. He forces Ike to change clothes with him and attempts to get away in the machine. The nimble Ike springs on to the trunk rack at the back and the journey to the beach is continued. Ma, Pa and the sheriff, short of money, take the streetcar. The sheriff's hat blows out the window and he attempts to stop the car by pulling the bell rope. He mistakes the cord and rings up several dollars on the car register. The irate conductor forcibly ejects him, also ma and pa from the car. In the loot which the bandit has thrown away is a gold-headed umbrella. The party eventually arrive at the beach and are mistaken for the robbers of the car. Ike is arrested and put into jail with Louise. Ma is also arrested for having the incriminating umbrella. She sights the real bandit in Ike's clothes and denounces him to the police. Ma hikes herself to the jail and demands the release of her children. When this is refused, she knocks out the guard, pries the jail bars apart, and rescues them.
