Their cooking does not appeal to the digestive organs of the patrons of that particular restaurant and after some little ceremony of placing them in the proper position, the manager literally kicks them out. They are considering hiring themselves out as cooks to one of the warring nations, to be stationed in the commissary at the prisoners' camp when a waiter in the restaurant, a member of the no-law and no-order league, invites them to join his society. Timidly Bill and Louie enter the cellar where the "bureau of combustibles" is considering placing a bomb under some rich man's front parlor. Bill and Louie are duly initiated, and draw lots with the rest to determine who will plant the bomb. Of course, they are the "lucky" ones, and are handed the bomb. Louie lights it immediately, so that Bill can get a light for his cigarette. The infernal machine is immersed in water and then the cooks start out to blow the house. They board a Fifth Avenue bus and touch a match to it. The passengers scatter in double quick time, hopping off the bus while it is in motion. An old rheumatic gentleman is being assisted down the street by his daughter when the lighted bomb rolls against his bandaged foot. It's a sure cure. Up the street he flies, abandoning his crutches. The bomb next lands in a baby carriage. Baby fondles the bomb as if it were a doll. Louie runs up and takes the bomb away, giving baby a revolver to play with in its stead. The members of the "bureau" who have followed the cooks, are huddled up against the wall of a building as the bomb rolls up to them. A terrific explosion; the walls separate and the men are blown through. It is the police station. Bill and Louie rush up and in short order call the police captain to the breach in the wall. The men are dragged in and placed in a cell. Bill and Louie are arrested for carrying concealed weapons and later escape. The following day they are standing out in the snow muttering that if they ever get in a warm jail again, they will sign a lease. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
