The delivery bus belonging to the merchant next door is standing at the curbing and the monkey decides to take a ride. He hides in the bus, and is carried to the home of John Stevens, a wealthy banker. Bob Stevens, the son, has just had an unpleasant scene with his father, who has refused him more money for card debts. While the delivery boy is flirting with the house maid, the monkey enters the library through an open window, and finding the safe open, takes a pack of bank notes and buries them under the hedge. A little later a policeman finds the monkey wandering about and returns him to his owner. Mr. Stevens accuses his son of stealing the money and orders him from the house. Helen Davis, ward of Mr. Stevens, and sweetheart of Bob, later buys the monkey for a pet. The monkey picks up Mrs. Stevens' handkerchief, one afternoon while they are seated on the veranda, and takes it to the same place where he buried the money. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens follow him and discover Helen and Bob in the garden. Bob's father again orders him away, but Helen sees the monkey dig up the money and things are all satisfactorily explained.
