At this moment Arthur enters accompanied by a beautiful girl whom he has become acquainted with through a flirtation on the boardwalk. Arthur and his friend take seats at the table under which Papa is hiding and are served by the husky waiter, Papa thereby getting no chance to escape. In the meantime the girl's sweetheart, who is a villainous looking character, starts in search for her and becomes a raving maniac when he is told she has entered the café with Arthur. He draws his gun and dashes into the café. Arthur, seeing him coming, quickly disappears. Papa now sees his chance to escape and in making his getaway carries table and all with him. He is seen by the sweetheart, who, thinking he is Arthur, gives chase, taking shots at him. Papa seeks to escape by swimming out in the water and climbing the mast of a sunken ship. The lover, foiled, makes use of an old cannon which he finds on the beach and takes shots at Papa, who still clings to the mast. About the third shot the cannon explodes, blowing the sweetheart through the air. After a flight through the clouds he falls on Papa. Both fall off the mast and finish their fight in the water.
