An incident of this kind results in a merry mix-up between Jerry and his enemies, the police, and, when the battle is over, they lead him to the police station. To the great humiliation of the officers, the Captain of Police finds Jerry in the possession of nearly all of the officers' clubs and about a dozen brick-bats. They proceed to put Jerry through the third degree and generally abuse him when they are interrupted by the arrival of an interested old couple who witnessed the altercation between Jerry and the officers. The old folks argue that there is something wrong with Jerry's head and induce the Captain to permit them to take Jerry and have his head examined by a phrenologist. After considerable difficulty, the old couple manage to land Jerry at the phrenologist's door where Jerry, unobserved, manages to create a small riot between the old man and the head examiner, resulting in the arrival of the police and the arrest of the old gentleman. Jerry is escorted into the office where the phrenologist, who in reality is a much wanted military spy, proceeds to hypnotize him, puts his clothes on Jerry and makes him up to resemble the spy, places incriminating papers in Jerry's pockets and makes his escape. The soldiers arrive and arrest Jerry, who is taken before the General at army headquarters. There they search and cross-examine Jerry and find it necessary to handle him in no gentle manner. With the aid of a few handy bottles and some extra fresh pies Jerry subdues his tormentors and makes his departure, only to be intercepted at the gates of the army post by other soldiers, whom he bowls over and makes his escape. Running across the aviation field, Jerry sees an aeroplane which he appropriates and sails away to safety in. In making a landing he accidentally comes upon the head examiner whom he holds up at the point of a gun and marches to the police station. Confident that his capture of the spy will result in his own pardon, Jerry boldly enters the stronghold of his enemies, only to be pounced upon and thrown into a cell.
