Many years pass and Ham, in charge of the Swell Dishwasher Company, wears a top hat and rides in a limousine attended by liveried lackeys. Bud descends from his seat on the brake-rods of a freight in time to see his old friend exit from his palatial offices preparatory to paying a visit to his fiancée, the daughter of the district attorney. Spurned, Bud swings on behind and conceals himself behind a convenient curbstone when Ham enters the district attorney's home. Later Ham promises Bud a job as his office boy if he will keep his past a closed book. Bud, in his capacity of order clerk, sends Ham's fiancée one of the marvelous dishwashers. It proves to be a sponge that takes on the aspects of a wild creature the moment it absorbs moisture. Ham arrives just in time to slay the ferocious sponge before it annihilates the entire household. The following day Bud tips off the police that Ham is a crook and is about to make his get-away. Ham's prospective father-in-law leads a band of blue-coats in a raid that fizzles when the president of the Swell Dishwasher Company escapes through a secret panel. Bud has substituted a brick for the swag, so it's back to the old life once more for our noble heroes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
