Mr. Wildcherry was a menace to society and a trouble to his daughter, Eva. Right across the hall lived Mr. Samson Hercules and his bride. When Hercules goes out Wildcherry goes across the hall and makes a low bow to Mrs. Hercules, taking off his hat. She sees "I love you" painted on his bald head. But she is adamant. Then Wildcherry ties a string to a purse and pulls it across the hall to get her into his flat. She crawls after it and gets wedged in under the sewing machine. Eva comes to her aid, and she goes home raging. Eva has two suitors, Mr. Beer and Mr. Buller. Both come to call at once, and while they are there Papa goes over to Mrs. Hercules. Eva has been sewing on the machine and a thread from his trousers is caught in the needle. As he sits talking, his trouser leg begins to unravel, and runs right up to the knee. He hears Mr. Hercules coming and hides. Hercules finds his hat, and he is thrown out. Eva's suitors are getting into a fight, when Wildcherry arrives and separates them. Mr. Hercules goes out to take his annual bath to sooth his feelings. Beer sends Eva a message asking her to elope, and Buller reads it. He makes a plan with Wildcherry to circumvent them. They take their places with a gun at the rope which is hanging out of the window, but unfortunately in a second fight between Beer and Buller, the latter is caught in the rope and seesaws up and down the side of the house, finally landing in the water tank on the roof. The end of the rope coils around the auto in which the lovers sit and they can't start the car. The watertank is upset and Mr. Wildcherry, pulling on the other end of the rope is dragged into the Hercules' bathroom. He makes fast to the bathtub. Mrs. Hercules comes in to take a bath and is dragged out and drawn along the street by the auto of the lovers. En route Mr. Wildcherry falls into the same tub, and the whole outfit crashes through the wall of the bath establishment where Mr. Hercules is bathing. The couples are reunited in the midst of the debris.
