But when the gas buggy stops, and she doesn't - it is highly evident that she has only been riding on a bicycle. A traffic cop orders her to halt. Fire engines tear down the street. Wanda dashes madly ahead. The cop tries to stop her. He falls across her handle-bars. They beat the engine, dash through a construction shanty, and he falls into a plaster vat, she onto a beam which is being raised into the air. The dinner whistle blows, and she has to struggle down as best she can. She slides on a hot bolt, tips over a bucket and a few other things, causing a vamp to get all splashed by plaster, so that the cop pinches said vamp instead. A young engineer asks her to go riding with him. Wanda cautiously takes her bike. The flivver shakes and finally stops near a roadhouse. The vamp is in a passing machine, with a deep-dyed villain. Meanwhile, Wanda steals away on her bike. The villain tells the engineer that his lady friend will drive him to a telephone. And the two go to the roadhouse. Avoiding a passing machine, Wanda dashes into the roadhouse. The villain accidentally starts the flivver, which backs into the cabaret - and into a big swimming pool. But it all ends romantically perfect when the engineer leaves the vamp flat, and drives out of the tank with Wanda. Written by
