The inventor has completed an aerial torpedo which is controlled by wireless. The janitor-spy is trying to steal it. He blows up the workshop several times but the inventor is not worried. He doesn't even stop inventing. Finally the janitor accidentally discovers the wireless waves that controls the torpedo. He turns on the "juice" and the torpedo starts its cruise, ultimately destroying the workshop, the inventor, the spy and everybody else. Then another inventor appears with a new torpedo. He is surrounded by foreign spies and the things that happen in his workshop bear a strong resemblance to the mental disturbances that mark a long standing case of delirium tremens.
