He has an able assistant domestic hound in Shorty. Both Hank and Shorty are at the beach on a vacation, but they are handicapped in their sightseeing trip by the presence of their wives. The hounds make several attempts to visit the pretty ingenue who has just come from the bath-house attired in her bathing suit. They do succeed in escaping from the hotel at which the spouses are staying and meet the ingenue on the beach. Unfortunately for the hounds, however, the "Heavy" thinks enough of the ingenue to resent the intrusion. He shows his resentment plainly. Hank's face shows it also, when the "heavy" finishes. In the chase that follows. Hank and Shorty run faster along that beach than a man whose clothes have been stolen. Being only mortal, they grow weary of flight and seek refuge under two beach umbrellas. When they find their wives are the holders of the umbrellas, the outlook does not seem particularly rosy to the hounds. They flee with more determination, if less speed, than before. That evening the two wander to a roof garden. Hank did not know that a man who had a grudge against him had dropped a big roll of bills in his pocket. Consequently, the hound begins dispensing greenbacks right and left until wives, "heavy," cop and the owner of the money appear. Hank and Shorty leave the scene via balloon.
