Jerry lands on the youth's head with a brick, preventing any further trouble and then he carries the basket for the girl. Arriving in town, Jerry learns that his friend is the daughter of the town grocer. The father needs a strong young man to help about the store and Jerry lands the job. Jerry's attentions directed at the girl more than to his work arouses the wrath of the storekeeper and the two get into a fight. Jerry hides in a barrel and soon he is a captive when the old man nails the lid on, not knowing that Jerry is inside. The "cut-up" having told of the attack made upon him by Jerry to the constable, a search is started for Jerry and the grocery store is searched. There is no trace of Jerry. Jerry tries to release himself from the barrel and is so doing attracts the attention of the constable and several others, who think the store haunted and they rush out. Jerry then frees himself. The father and the constable hide in the big ice box believing Jerry will return. They are detected by the new clerk who locks them in and then proceeds to make love to the daughter. In the meantime the constable and father are frozen stiff and when the ice man arrives and opens the big refrigerator the two fall on the floor. Jerry and the girl are having a delightful time, while some of the customers build a fire in a stove and place the two frozen victims on top to thaw them out. Revived, the father hears Jerry singing and with the constable and others he makes ready to capture Jerry. They burst in upon Jerry and the girl and Jerry makes his escape and bidding the frightened daughter a hasty good-bye, he starts a dash for freedom. Led by the constable a mob gives chase after Jerry, but the fleet-footed little fellow gains and out-distances his pursuers, while back at the store the angry father uses his uses his razor strap effectively on his daughter.
