A moment later Jerry is confronted by the husky husband of the woman, who immediately starts action to throw the non-paying roomer out of the house. As they wrestle all over the room, Jerry backs Hank close to a window and in a flash the top-heavy is flying through the space to the street below. Two cops see Hank land on the sidewalk and then see Jerry laughing from a window above. They hurry to the scene, assist Hank and then decide to "get" Jerry. One guardian of the law enters Jerry's room but is sent sprawling to the floor by a well directed blow and remains prone in a semi-conscious condition as Jerry wraps a blanket about his head. Jerry tries to make his escape from the room but is cut off by the arrival of another policeman, Hank and the landlady. He rushes back to the room and hides. The stunned cop recovers and starts for the door, only to be knocked flat by a rolling pin brought down on his head by the landlady who believed that it was Jerry coming out. During the uproar which follows, Jerry makes his escape and finds a haven in the park. He comes across pretty Josie, who is brooding because of the rude attentions of a strange man, and Jerry consoles her. Friendship ripens and Jerry is invited to the young woman's home, gets in bad there when he strikes the young woman's father during a mix-up with the butlers, and while attempting to get out of the path of the infuriated father, he comes across two crooks who are about to blow the old man's safe. Jerry hides and awaits results. Hank has followed Jerry and as he is prowling around the house, Jerry sees him. Suddenly there is an explosion and a strong box containing a large amount of money flies through the air and lands in Hank's hands. The crooks, frightened, disappear. The police are attracted and as they arrive at the scene, Jerry grabs Hank and the money box and calls for help. Father, Josie and the cops arrive and Jerry turns Hank over to the police, as the would-be safe blower, and he gallantly hands the treasured strong box to the father. As the innocent Hank is taken away, Jerry is summoned by the gleeful father, who seats his daughter on one knee and Jerry on the other, to join their hands while he indicates he will give his consent to their marriage and likewise access to the box containing the wealth.
