I'll wager I could rob a house and not get caught." Her friends take her up on the bet and brother Fred suggests the house of Jack, a wealthy bachelor, as a likely victim. Ethel goes off to prepare for the job while Fred telephones Jack who leaves the window conveniently open, dons a rough garb and hides on the lawn in waiting for his visitor. After Ethel has entered Jack follows, and in a minute Ethel has covered him with his own revolver saying, "How dare you attempt to rob my home." She phones for the police but Jack works on her sympathy and promises to reform so she gets him a job as coal-heaver in her father's company. Jack gets a substitute to hold the job for him and as the "sub" is possessed of both a wife and dishonest ways the complications that follow before Jack and Ethel win happiness may be seen to provide many an opportunity for laughs.
