Mace is sitting down to breakfast on a big piece of beefsteak, when Marta Golden is called to the dumbwaiter. Gibbon is famishing and motions his distress to the woman. She sends Mace out to beat some rugs in the hall and sends the steak up to Gribbon. Mace is furious on his return, but is diverted by the landlord who sends him out to clean up the house. Then the landlord demands rent from Gribbon, who is unable to pay. Gribbon goes out in the hall and gets Miss Golden to elope with him taking a sum of money from the landlord's strong box. Mace is arrested for the theft and is jailed. On the plea of his little daughter, Mace is released. He and the child pass a cabaret, Mace sees Gribbon and his wife within. He is refused entrance in front but gets in by way of the kitchen. There is a great overturning of tables and smashing of dishes, when Mace sees Gribbon and starts in pursuit. It finally ends with their meeting on the roof. Mace is thrown through a glass dome and lights in a fountain where he bobs up and down like a rubber ball on the stream of gushing water. He is finally rescued by the police who put a table under him and he rolls off on the floor. Then the Keystone police are seen hanging in the air supported by the table upheld by the fountain. The picture ends with the arrest and discomfiture of Gribbon and the reconciliation of Mace and Miss Golden.Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
