John Adams and his daughter are driving along the roadside and discover Gill Howe lying in the snow drift. They take him to their home and nurse him. Gill requests Kate Adams to notify his sister of his accident and to come to him. The two girls meet and become friends. Gill falls in love with Kate. He is the chief advisor of Samuel Stacey, a millionaire promoter. Kate's father is a big contractor for the great dam in the wilderness and meets with financial difficulty. He thrashes a thieving man for trying to steal from the works. The man becomes very angry and threatens to have revenge. John Adams is very much worried over the works being shut down and not being able to pay any money to the laborers, who have become very angry, and threaten to blow up the dam. Through a stray bullet John Adams is accidentally shot. Unable to go to the city to borrow money on securities, he sends his daughter. She arrives in the city and seeks to borrow from Stacey, who insults her in his office. Gill, overhearing the insult to the girl who has been so kind to him. resents it. Through his interference, he is discharged by Stacey. Gill then assists Kate in borrowing the money. They are continually blocked through Stacey's interference, so finally Gill arranges with several friends to detain Stacey until they get the money. Being tricked, Stacey swears revenge and follows the girl and Gill to the dam. Gill, who has proven himself to be loyal, is now made manager of the dam. This displeases the present foreman, who conspires with Stacey to overthrow Gill. The laborers continue rioting and howling for their money. Through Mr. Adams, Gill secures aid from the governor of the state, to protect their large holdings and investments. Gill pleads with the rioters and begs them to keep quiet and promises that all salaries will be paid in due time. Through jealousy, Stacey with the assistance of the foreman urges the crowd to wreck the great dam. The militia arrive in time with their Gattling Guns. Gill instructs the militia that if they are forced to fire, to use only blank shells to frighten the mob away. Stacey, who overhears Gill, surreptitiously substitutes real bullets, and then incites the men to riot. A moving picture man, scouting for scenes of interest, is photographing the dam where these labor disturbances are taking place. He sees Stacey substituting the bullets and photographs the dastardly deed. He runs off, to hide his camera and, returning to the spot, sees the militia firing upon the rioters. He hastens to Stacey's office and accuses him of murder through his substitution of the bullets for blanks. Stacey and the foreman attack the cameraman, carry him into the dam and turn on the water. Gill hears his cries and rushes to the rescue. Being unable to turn off the water, he secures dynamite and blasts the dam. He succeeds in rescuing the cameraman, and takes him to his home. Gill is arrested and accused of being responsible for the murder of the rioters. While the trial is proceeding the cameraman enters the court with a moving picture machine, and after darkening the courtroom, shows the picture of Stacey substituting the bullets. He then tells the story to the court, resulting in the freeing of Gill and the militia officers, and the conviction of Stacey.

She realizes that she is the cause of Tom signing away his property and immediately starts to assist him in recovering it. She confesses to Tom the unintentional wrongs she has done him, which caused the loss of his timberland. Tom is very much infatuated with Kate and asks her to marry him.

Jim has a great affection for Jack, who became crippled in his early youth, in saving Jim's life. Jack, the cripple, is very fond of Jim's baby. Alda, the wife, however, denies Jim the joy of romping with the baby, contending that his crooked shape will have an ill influence on the child. She refers to him as an imp. The very first quarrel between Jim and his wife is the defense of Jack, whom he hears his wife speak ill of. Jim declares that Jack's poor bones were twisted in saving his life, and no one, not even she, his wife, shall speak ill of him. Hardy, a hunter, is accidentally shot in the mountains while hunting. He is found by Jim, Jack and their dogs. He is brought to Jim's home and cared for. The wife falls in love with Hardy. Jack surprises them in embrace.

She and Hardy leave together, taking Jim's baby. The property is sold and Jim and Jack are driven off. Jim, who adores his wife and baby, is crushed beneath the mighty blow. Gradually there comes through the daze of the terrific blow a desire for revenge upon the guilty pair. Jim records an oath, but he does not call upon high Heaven to witness that oath. He starts about it in a secret, systematic, subtle manner. He labors arduously with his medicine and chemistry. Ten years pass; Jim is in Spain. He is a wonderful doctor, having won the world's highest honors. Under another name he is loved and respected. Through his great skill he has been able to correct his brother's misshapen bones.

Jim consents to save Hardy's life for two purposes, one condition being that Alda tell the child that he, Jim, is its father, and that she also tell the child of her own shame and guilt. She does this in order to save Hardy's life. The child shrinks from her. Jim saves Hardy's life for future vengeance. He sends for Mama, the Spanish beauty, who in time wins Hardy away from Jim's former wife, so she suffers the same pains she inflicted upon Jim. Alda, deserted by Hardy, becomes poor and wretched.

- Heinie and Louie are guardians for a girl who is fabulously rich and extremely good looking. Some unthinking unfortunate left both the cash and the girl behind him when he took up his abode in the next world and foolishly provided in his will that the girl should be under the care of Heinie and Louie and that she should marry one of them. They are called to the office of the lawyers in charge of the estate and told of their good luck. They imagine that the girl is anything other than the beauty she really is, and are agreeably surprised when they see her. Her surprise, however, is anything but agreeable, because she had arranged to marry the man of her choice. Both Heinie and Louie propose to her, and she accepts the former. Then she arranges with her lover to act the part of the clergyman, after insisting that Heinie draw the money from the bank. He does this and hands it over to her when the ceremony is carried out. But he then finds that the minister is none other than his rival, and that he has been "fleeced" out of a perfectly good fortune. Great are his lamentations thereat.
- Three city sports, reeking of 6th Ave. and 14th St., come to Hicksville, and immediately two of them have a desire to create the only atmosphere they're comfortable in. The third, Aleck, has the desire but not the youth, so he stays home and makes sure of the crowd's funds by sewing them in the lining of his suit. Willie and George shine up to two charmers who are accustomed to stepping lively and all their available cash is used in a taxi ride to a swell café. Willie doesn't have much trouble in faking up a fit outside the café, and the boys depart, making a date for that evening. They then go home and look for their cash, but Aleck's been there first. The only available asset is the sleeping Aleck's clothes, which they take out and hock. When Aleck awakes the boys tell him they have soaked his clothes, and he almost jumps out of his pajamas at the news. Disguised as a woman, he takes the boys' clothes to pawn them in order to get enough money to take his own suit with the money sewed in the lining out of hock. But alas, the suit has already been sold.
- For the trivial offense of sprinkling plaster ceiling over a neighbor's breakfast, Heinie and Louie are dispossessed without notice, and forced to seek the refuge of a convenient cellar. Here they overhear three burglars planning to rob the house, and in their fright at being so near such wicked people try for a noiseless exit. But they can't even steal away with the cracksmen around, and after a thrilling chase are caught and strung up by the heels to a steampipe. Hanging that way isn't what it's strung up to be, however, and after a brief session our heroes untie and rearrange themselves, right end up. They then spy the burglars' professional tools, and it slowly dawns on them that, though inexperienced, they might use them to considerable advantage. Of course they upset the frijoles (which is slang for "spill the beans"), but they do it in such a ludicrous way that it makes one quite forget their clumsiness.
- Heinie and Louie follow Mabel into a soda emporium. As she leaves and is asked for her cash, she tells the waiter that her friends will pay, but they are not very enthusiastic about the invitation. They finally leave the place and camp on Mabel's trail, which leads to a gymnasium where she is working out for reducing purposes. They are persuaded to sign up to appear at an entertainment to be given some days later. The eventful night rolls around and they are introduced to a packed house. A wrestling bout opens the fun. Heinie starts off with the famous nose hold, and gets a grip on Louie's "beak," angering the worthy so much that he retaliates with the famous toe hold. This is not sufficient and he is compelled to resort to a hold of his own invention, which he calls the "tickle" grip. This consists in tickling Heinie under the armpits and causes him to fall heavily to the mat, a beaten gladiator. They then start a ten round bout. The manly art of self-defense as portrayed by these two doesn't appeal, so the contest is stopped. The two contestants echo the sentiments of the audience and realize that as athletes they are frosts.
- Heinie, now happily married, is engaged in removing such particles of dirt from the carpet as a broom in the hands of a novice will remove. While he conscientiously studies the art of street cleaning by mail, his most loving better half prepares the grub. The most awkward of men, he bumps against the tray of food which his wife fetches to him, giving himself another lesson in his chosen art and no nourishment with which to continue his muscle wrecking studies. He proceeds to the delicatessen for more bologna. Meanwhile Louie stands all alone holding up the side of a shack, in which a band of kidnappers are plotting. They hear his breathing and open the door very suddenly. Thereafter Louie is one of them and steals a child just as Heinie marches home with the luxuries. Heinie sees him and pursues him into the shack, where he neatly cleans up the clan and takes the baby home. Louie squeals to the police with the result that Heinie goes to jail. The imitation zebra make a getaway and Heinie comes home to make a counter charge against Louie. Louie is found guilty and loses his precious liberty. Heinie returns to his domicile to comfort his weeping wife.
- Heinie and Louie become fortune tellers. Heinie tells the fortune of a very rich woman. In the fortune the queen is supposed to be attacked by thugs and rescued by a hero. Heinie describes Louie as the hero. Louie later plans a bogus hold-up so that he may win the good graces of the lady which he does. She lavishes him with money until it so terminates that the rich lady is none other than the Pearl Queen, a notorious thief. Louie becomes involved to a painful degree as an accomplice, affording amusing complications.
- This film. It presents a funny mix-up of babies, and the only jarring note is where an automobile is seen to run into a baby carriage which has started on its way downhill alone. - The Moving Picture World, January 23, 1915
- Two Germans are traveling in Cuba. One saves the life of a wealthy Cuban who gives the German the hand of his daughter. She has already been married. Her young husband threatens to pursue the German over the world and kill him. Later, the old Cuban sends his lawyer, who resembles the young husband, to New York to find the German to give him $100,000. The two Germans think the fellow with the money is the one who has come to kill. Consequently they have a fearful time keeping away from the man who is trying to give them the money; the two men who look so alike, coming and going. The German's great confusion and fear forms the foundation for laughable situations.
- Laughing gas escapes and gets right down into the audience. Heinie and Louie see to that. The usually impecunious Louie tries to look unconcerned with money sticking out of his every pocket. Heinie tries to get in "touch" with Louie, but the modern Monte Cristo learned his English in a different school. All Louie will lend is his ear, which Heinie proceeds to fill with questions, the burden of which is, "Where did you get it? What are you going to do with it?" To which Louie answers, "I made idt. It looks real, nichtwahr? I vas going tzoon to haf gwide a bull vith efer tzo much beoples. Chust tdo. your pest tdo look your voorst und ve can poth pe bainless, nein?" Heinie agrees to try, and Louie exchanges his counterfeit cash for a dental parlor. Business starts with a toothsome flapper who's had a dog's life of it with her canines. Louie thinks some gas will make his job lighter, and proceeds to turn it on. He's no piker, this Louie, and soon has the flapper effectually asleep. But the gas, tired of its cramped life and desirous of escaping, blows the top out of its container, and playfully does some denting on its own account. The former proprietor discovers Louie's money is homemade and comes back to get it changed. On the way, he falls in with a squad of police, and together they make for the parlor, where, with the young flapper's sweetheart they start to "treat" the gasmen in the good old painful way. The cops suggest a lead filling, but Heinie and Louie, remembering the gas, make good their escape.
- Thus far the world has not come to Heinie and Louie's way of thinking, thus far the world has not given them a living. Coming to a town where the dominant Heinie feels that Louie's conspicuous face is too familiar to the inhabitants, he adopts a well-known disguise for the "sometimes" humble Louie. Heinie having tonsorial ability of no mean note, very rapidly relieves the very willing Louie of his troublesome goatee, and with shears, brush and a curry-comb, he trims his golden locks. They borrow some clothes of vintage unknown, and hire sleeping quarters, payment promised. Much disturbed by the landlady's son, they seek to revenge themselves by storing the contents of their room in a trunk of unfathomable depth. Then proceeding to call in an express man, they are stopped by the irate landlady, who expresses a wish, that they expressly "fork over." Failing, they are ordered to the kitchen to "work it out." It would have been better to have ejected them immediately, for the damage they wrought to the well-kept kitchen was irreparable. The star boarder, a tragedian, suffers much at the hands of the two hoodlums. The other boarders, enraged, put the troublemakers into the street, where they are set upon by a minion of the law, and jailed, much to their satisfaction, because of the things to eat.
- Heinie and Louie run afoul of a sort of Utopia in which only women reside. There are female cops and all other officials of the town are of that sex. Men are barred under pain of death, so when our two heroes are observed wandering along the main thoroughfare of the burg they are immediately spotted and pursued by the entire police force and captured. After being subjected to the spanking machine and the water cure, they are locked up in cells, but the novelty of having males in the neighborhood appeals to the mayoress and sheriffess, and they take the captives to their home for dinner. But even this hospitality has no effect on their guests, and the latter rob their hostesses of the contents of the safe. However, some time later their absence is discovered by the cops and they are tracked down to the home of the mayor, where they are given a terrific beating and cast to the four winds.
- Heinie and Louie rescue a fair dame who tells them her life's history. She is hooked up with a John who thinks women an inferior sex, and she resents it. In fact, she resents it so much that she tells our heroes that she'll give them $5,000 to do away with him, to which the gallant Heinie, always ready to help a lady in distress (for a consideration) answers: "Consider yourself a vidow." The boys write a decoy note to the caveman and get him to their rooms, where they truss him up. They then go and tell friend wife that they come to officially announce that they will kill her husband at midnight, as per specifications. Then they go back, and the surprise that awaits them, well, better see the picture.
- Heinie and Louie learn that a high-priced mechanical doll is about to be sent from abroad to Mrs. R.U.A. Nutt, so they figure that they may as well get in on the good thing. Accordingly, Louie is "all dolled up" to represent the mechanical wonder and is brought to Mrs. Nutt's home. They manage to get away with it for a while, but later on, Slippery Jim, who has also fallen for the mechanical doll stuff, brings one of his own. The two dolls meet each other and their antics are most ludicrous. But finally the real doll makes its appearance and the plotters are put to rout.
- "Heinie," the "masked marvel" who, to convince the lady of his love that he had prowess beyond that of all other men, entered the arena, and from its mat challenged the world. But "Heinie" is far seeing. In collusion with his partner in crime, "Louie," he rigs up a mechanical device whereby "Louie," behind the scenes, at a signal from "Heinie" presses a button that releases a spike in the center of the floor, which spike punctures the spinal column of the wrestler over it, and so makes him unfit for further dispute. Jack, another aspirant for the hand of the fair dame in the case, also enters the lists. Heinie's stunt works well, and in some screamingly funny bouts he manages to disable four of his most feared rivals. "Louie," behind the scenes, made careless by the easy success of his button pushing work, falls asleep, and when he awakes instinctively pushes the button. But alas, "Heinie" is over the spike at that moment and takes the count. Then Jack puts the other contenders wise, and "Heinie" and "Louie" show better form as sprinters than they have in any of their previous accomplishments.
- Hans and Heinie are broke. Hans concludes that, having once been a horse doctor, he can cure human beings. He brews bacterium of a disease called the jumps. They inoculate the folk of a village with the jumps, and hang out a sign specializing in a cure for jumps. Their office is besieged. They make instant cures and incidentally a barrel of money but their trick is finally exposed. They are arrested, and jailed much to their discomfiture, but to the amusement of those who witness this wonderful get-rich scheme of Hans and Heinie.
- Those two politicians, diplomats, envoys, arbitrators, soldiers of fortune, and general good-for-nothings, Heinie and Louie, are confided in by an irate father, and promised $1,000 should they succeed in breaking his daughter's leg, to save her reputation. This may sound queer, so be it known at the outset, that Mabel, the daughter, has aspirations to become a ballet dancer, and the Old Man has a desire to make her "toe the line," in quite a different way, however, and even at the expense of making her toe it with a broken leg. Heinie and Louie accept before they hear the proposition, the matter of a broken leg or two only serving to make their work more interesting. They invade the ballet school, make way with the master, and proceed to take charge in order to carry out their crooked work. The sight of some of the future ballet sensations, leads Heinie to remark "der human knee iss not a blace of amusement; it's a joint," and they proceed with their raid. After a funny bone-cracking struggle, they finally manage to clamp Mable's leg to the table, and are doing their darndest to make it a two-piece affair between the knee and the ankle, when Mable's beau, and a cop arrive, and they are routed. They rush off to get a "leg-up" on the one thousand "bones," and just collect when Mable arrives and proves to her father that her "understanding" is still perfect. Heinie and Louie, as usual, almost win.
- Millie Millions dreams one night of being saved by her ideal man, and is on the lookout at all times for him. Old Heinie seems to fit that description and is looked upon with great favor by the girl. But Mother has other plans for her offspring. These include an alliance with a foreign nobleman, who is on the high seas on his way to the home of the Millions. Millie conceives the brilliant idea of dressing Heinie up in such an outfit as is usually associated with foreign noblemen. He dons the raiment all right, and is received with open arms by the fond parents, getting away with it fairly well. But finally the Count's steamer docks and that personage reaches the home of his intended in time to discredit Heinie, who is thrown into exterior darkness.
- Heinie and Louie read that Professor Waldemar Flubdub of London is on his way to this country with "Skylight Sleep," a new anaesthetic. It is then determined in council assembled that they will board the steamer down the bay and relieve the Professor of his medicine. This is accomplished in due time, and they then set about administering the drug to anyone who shows the slightest inclination for it. They are reaping a harvest and are on the high road to wealth when their well-laid plans go astray. And only because the Honorable Flubdub is rescued from the unusual position in which he is found in his stateroom, tied hand and foot. Irate Prof. makes his way ashore and soon runs into the two heroes with his most cherished discovery, which they are using with the greatest abandon. A call for the police soon puts them in their right place, and the last seen of the two noted "surgeons" is when they are being lugged off with little ceremony to the nearest lockup.
- Heinie and Louie are down and out and unless they get some money in a short while they will die of starvation. They start off on the trail of the elusive jitney, and steal a bunch of toy balloons from Black Hand Joe. That worthy pursues them with a huge knife, but they make their escape as usual. They blow up some of the balloons and start out to sell them, but a kind lady, Dizzy Lizzy, sights them and asks them to get change of a hundred dollar bill. They are to get ten dollars for their trouble. Ten dollars. It's a million to Heinie and Louie. They start to spend it, but make the mistake of going to the same place where they got the change of the century, and are almost grabbed as counterfeiters.
- Heinie and Louie have managed to get possession of a rusty steed which they have dressed up in overalls and are out for a morning canter through the park. But as much as they like the handsome animal, they feel that their crying need for cash must overcome any sentimental reasons for keeping him. Then they sell him to a band of nomads and with the cash received invest in a prosperous shoe shining emporium. They go along fairly well, getting into but a few fights, one of which was started when Louie puts black polish on white shoes, and are on the road to success when their run of good luck breaks. The Prune sisters, well known social lights in the neighborhood, are on a shopping tour when they realize that their shoes are badly in need of a little polish. Now, before they started out Mabel put her roll in the First National Bank of Womankind, her silk lisles. So, while applying the polish, Heinie spies the roll and grows much elated thereat. He tells Louie to keep at work on the shoes while he gets the razor which they keep on hand for just such emergencies. This instrument he plies with neatness and dispatch and relieves Miss Prune of her cash. The victim fails to realize her loss until she has gone some distance, but she goes back to the emporium and demands the arrest of the two captains of the pedal polishing industry. They are then taken into custody and are put at the usual rock-breaking game. But their stay here is rather short and they manage to escape in the most novel manner.
- Daisy goes out rowing and falls overboard in full sight of Heinie and Louie. Of course it's up to them to do the rescuing honors, but before they are through Heinie is compelled to pull both Daisy and his pal from the briny. He uses heroic treatment on the pair, and is rewarded by Daisy with an invitation to call on her. He does this and receives a vast sum of money for his services in the life saving line. But while at the house, Daisy's husband puts in his appearance and Heinie takes it on the run, aided and abetted in his flight by a .44 in the hands of friend husband. He takes Louie with him in the sprint and the only way they can escape the husband and the .44 is by jumping overboard. This they do and the last we see of them is when their heads sink beneath the waves.
- A mischievous boy, who is always causing trouble pretends to have a sore arm and asks a worthy citizen to ring a door bell.
