They present themselves at the theater for a trial. After a vain attempt to please, they get the "hook," while the audience pelt them with various missiles. They wander down the street until they espy a sign before an employment agency, calling for a first and second cook. Haddie applies for the job and the agent sends them to the house of the wealthy Tom Van Austin. They are engaged by Mrs. Van Austin, who directs them to prepare a dinner, which is to be an adjunct to a ball to be given that night to celebrate her wedding anniversary. Mrs. Van Austin proposes to wear at this ball an expensive set of pearls, but Mr. Van Austin calls her attention to a paragraph in the daily paper which relates the many thefts of jewels at social functions, and suggests that she place her pearls in the safe deposit vault. The pearls are placed in a box to be taken to the vault. On telephoning to the bank, Mr. Van Austin finds that it is closed for the day, and determines to place the box in his house safe. Haddie, who has gone to the store for a box of eggs, at that moment enters the rooms to register a protest with his master about the way Finn makes him do all the work. Both boxes are laid on the table. After his interview, Haddie inadvertently picks up the box and departs to the kitchen where he places the supposed eggs in the refrigerator, while Mr. Van Austin locks the real egg box in the safe. The fact that Mrs. Van Austin is to wear her pearls at the ball having been chronicled in the papers. various bands of crooks resolve to make an attempt to steal them. The night arrives, the guests are assembling and among them Raffles and his confederate. Finn and Haddie, who have been drafted in as waiters to serve the guests, overhear the two crooks plotting to steal the pearls and resolve to forestall them. While engaged in their attempt, they are surprised by the real crooks whom they capture one by one, and stand in a row against the wall. The waiters having disappeared, Mrs. Van Austin becomes suspicious as to the safety of her pearls, and she and her husband go to the library to investigate. There Mr. Van Austin is attacked by the thieves and overpowered. Mrs. Van Austin gives the alarm and the police drive up to the house. Finn and Haddie escape from the library and take refuge in the kitchen, pretending to be asleep at the table. Mrs. Van Austin leads the police to the library, her husband is released, the robbers placed under arrest, and the safe is opened. The box is discovered to be filled with eggs and the crooks all faint. A light breaks upon Mr. Van Austin, who recalls the interview with his cook, who was carrying a box at the time, and he heads a rush to the kitchen. There the right box is found in the refrigerator and the pearls restored to their happy owner. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
