While they are experimenting, "Zeppelin" style, from the roof of the Jarr apartment house, one of the liquid bombs "accidentally" drops on Gus's bald head, and when Jarr happens into his place on the way home Gus tells him of the cowardly assault. At home Jarr finds all is bustle and preparation for the upcoming Gladys Cackleberry/Jack Silver wedding. Mrs. Jarr is helping to trim the wedding gown, and when Willie spies the full-length dress dummy the women are using, he tells the others, and they later purloin it to play Indian with, using it to illustrate their latest Indian outrage wherein the "captive maiden" is thrown over the cliff. Finding the dummy gone, the women suggest using Jack Silver as a temporary dress model, and despite his protests, they make him put on the beautiful gown. Gertrude, the emotional servant girl, exclaims he looks sweet enough to kiss, but Jack, in a panic, ducks out the door. He runs into Mr. Jarr, and drags him with him into a taxi. The machine collides with a big brewery truck, throwing Jarr and Mr. Silver out in front of Gus's place. Jack rushes into the saloon, where he gets rid of his bridal clothes, then "beats it" for home. Jarr, as usual, gets arrested. He asks Gus to use his political influence, but that gentleman angrily tells the officer, "I don't know him, nor any of his friends." The police are about to drag him off when the women folks arrive, and beg so hard they let him go, then compromise by clubbing all the innocent bystanders.
