Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? 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.
