So Brown grabs a glue-pot and hammer, hustles to the front door and cleverly reverses the numbers to throw the Deacon off the scent. But the postman finds the Deacon and his wife as they are about to wander off and pilots them triumphantly to Brown's flat. Brown and his wife are in despair. Brown now hikes down to neighbor Jones and schemes to have Jones 'phone up that a terrible fire is raging nearby. Jones does so and the Deacon grabs his spouse and escapes from the flat in terror of his life, while the Browns celebrate joyfully. To make sure Brown now exchanges flats with Jones, and, when the Deacon returns wind-blown and mad clean through, he finds strangers to greet him and again leaves with his wife in despair. However, the neighborhood policeman, a most obliging cop, finds them wandering the streets and pilots them right back to the flat just as Brown and his wife are congratulating themselves over losing the old rubes and the aristocratic dinner party is in full sway. Naturally the Deacon and his spouse upset things generally with the result that the guests leave in disgust while Mrs. Brown faints in Hubbie's arms, and the two old rustics dust off their clothes with the celery and prepare to hold high carnival with the load of good things before them.
