Thatsim is about to lose another cook, when Itsky, the inventor, happens in. He learns why cook is leaving and invents a contrivance on the spot to make her work easier. It is a long conveyor belt with a windlass at each end, stretching from the kitchen, through several rooms to the dining-room. An electric bell signal is used to communicate with the cook. Everyone is delighted, and it works finely, but unfortunately, when Thatsim's rich aunt and uncle dine with him, the signals get mixed up and havoc follows. A couple of burglars break in, and in the intervening rooms see savory dishes passing through on the conveyor. The cops are called and a burglar-chase ensues. After it is all over, Thatsim finds the will left by his disgusted uncle and learns he has lost an inheritance of $1,000, but doesn't care when the police hand him $2,000 reward for catching the burglars.
