Stealthily creeping through a park, cudgeling his brain for an avenue of escape, he chances upon two girls who have been harassed by members of the police force, each of whom is strenuously striving for recognition. They beseech Jerry to take a place as their maid so that they may avail themselves of his masculine powers in case the policemen insist upon carrying on their annoying tactics. Seeing in it an opportunity to outwit Bones, Jerry accepts the job. For a while Jerry has the time of his life flirting and toying with the police officers. But his desire to play pranks eventually proves his undoing. In the spirit of fun he chides the master of the house. That unsuspecting individual takes the impersonator in his arms just as his wife enters. She, enraged, strikes the homebreaker and her unfaithful spouse with a handy flower vase. Jerry's wig falls from his head and his identity is exposed just as Curlock Bones enters. The game being up, Jerry permits Bones to escort him to jail, adding another coup to the detective's long list of triumphs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
