That night finds Ham and Bud approaching the Gottrox mansion on burglary bent. They find Gottrox heiress Golden spooning with her sweetheart Dick who, furious at being disturbed, tries to assault Ham, who merely knocks Dick down and walks off with the fickle girl. Mrs. Gottrox is anxious to have her daughter wed social lion Count Vodka. The latter, however, is really a Raffles, as Ham presently discovers when he sees the Count rob Mrs. Gottrox of a diamond pendant; a few minutes later Ham steals it from him. Bud, who sees this, eventually steals the jewel from his pal. Ham follows up his good work by stealing a few gems from Mrs. Gottrox while engaging her in a mild flirtation. He arouses her husband's jealousy and the latter determines to use Ham as a floor mop. Deeply smitten with Golden, Bud presents her with the necklace which Ham stole from her mother. The girl recognizes the jewel and cries for help. While Bud is being manhandled by the guests, Gottrox knocks Ham down and whales away at him with both fists. With a yell Ham awakens. Bud, seated on Ham's chest, is securing revenge for the kick. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
