Alfred is made up as a convict, and after a trying time rehearsing and a successful scene, he gets a thirst and persuades Edward to accompany him to a neighboring saloon, during the setting of the next scene. In the prison yard the compulsory guests are splitting rocks for compulsory recreation. Slippery Jim seizes the chance he has been looking for for months, and true to his name, he slips away. The news quickly spreads and Hawkshaw, the detective, tells intelligent Police Officer Doolan, to keep an active lookout for the fugitive. He also tells him that a $500 reward is offered for the capture of the convict. He sees Alfred as he returns with Edward to the studio. He pounces upon them and takes them to the station. Doolan's reward is spoiled by the telephone, with Edward on one end of the wire and the director on the other. Doolan's vision of an early marriage dissolves with Alfred's release and Edward's opinion of his intelligence. He goes sadly forth. Enter Slippery Jim round the corner. A collision introduces him to Doolan and the convict pinches himself to see if he is awake when Doolan digs him in the ribs, gives him a fine, fat cigar and tells him that, "he can't fool him again." Doolen insists upon taking him to his studio, where explanations ensue far too quickly to suit poor Jim. Doolan announces his early marriage, and Alfred and Edward are invited to the ceremony.
