On the night of the intended burglarizing expedition, the cracksmen peer through the window and see Lotta placing the jewel in the safe. Later, Ham and Bud enter. After placing a can of powder under the safe and lighting the fuse, Ham orders Bud to sit on the safe and keep it down when the explosion occurs. Wadda Coin, aroused by the noise, enters the room. Ham indignantly requests him to stay away until the safe is destroyed. This happens a minute later. The explosion drapes Bud over the chandelier, knocks Wadda Coin behind the table, and blows Ham out of the room. Returning, Ham rescues Bud and the two enter the pantry. There they get into a fight. Coin enters just in time to be hit with a cup thrown by Ham. The man falls unconscious. Lotta is awakened by the rumpus. She resolves to frighten the burglars by disguising as a ghost. Ham gives one look upon the ghastly figure and flees, followed by Bud. The race leads through a back yard where Bud becomes entangled in a bed sheet hanging on a line. Ham. glancing back, sees the sheet-clad figure. Believing it to be the ghost, he proceeds to break all speed records. An extra spurt enables Bud to overtake his pal. Ham drops to his knees in fear and trembling and awaits his fate. Bud gets rid of the sheet. The moment Ham discovers the "ghost's" identity, he rises and goes after Bud. The latter doesn't attempt to argue; he just runs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
