Uncle writes back that nephew's allowance isn't due for a month yet, that he himself is hard up as the crops are bad and the chickens aren't thriving. Henry comes back at him saying that as for chickens he has located a flock of more than ordinary excellence and invites his uncle to come down and look them over. Uncle Hiram accepts and brings along Aunt Lucinda with him. Henry takes them to the beach and while the aunt is busy punishing a plate of ice cream gives his uncle the high sign and quietly sneaks him off to meet some charming young lady friends of his who are in bathing. The girls make a hit with Uncle and all are having a fine time when Lucinda breaks up the party in a jealous rage. That night Hiram receives a note from Henry telling him to sneak away from Lucinda and he'll show him the time of his life. Uncle makes his getaway by the fire escape while Lucinda is sleeping, and straightway nephew and he begin to hit only the high spots. But Lucinda, ever suspicious, has been sleeping with one eye open and not long after her husband's escape discovers his absence. She dresses in a hurry and gets hot on the trail. Hiram in the midst of his festivities sees her coming and beats it back to the hotel. He climbs the fire escape, gets into the wrong room, and then, complications.
