Bert, pinch-hitting as Alice's dressmaking model, has his shirt ruined by her sewing machine. Neely, meanwhile, trying to keep put in his hammock, lashes himself in, but with disastrous results as the hammock is dragged along by an automobile, and Neely is drenched by a street sprinkler and later blown up by some boys' firecrackers. Later, chased by a bull, he manages to replenish his gored wardrobe by borrowing another suit from a scarecrow. Neely's car sawed in half by a careless workman, he hitches the hind end of the flivver to an obliging horse and overtakes his wife and butler to their consternation and the neighbors' amusement.
