Ambulances are continually being called to take charge of collapsed victims. She stops the mail man and talks until he drops. A blind man throws up his hands and regrets that he is not also deaf. Determining to get in her diabolical work, she tackles a German band until they drive her away with their horns. Next she meets a policeman who has a thief in charge; the poor cop swoons and the thief escapes. Visiting a picture show she makes her way behind the screen and talks to the shadowgraphs. Another policeman is attacked and Sarah talks the button off his uniform. Finally her jaw gets dislocated, she is taken to a hospital where one of the surgeons gives the jaw a punch and replaces it. Her husband punches it out again and she is rendered permanently dumb. Sarah is not easy to beat. Finding that she cannot talk any more, she goes to a deaf and dumb asylum and learns the sign language. Now she keeps up her incessant clatter with her fingers.
