Jim goes off to a poker game and forgets his keys. Bill goes to bed. Around one o'clock Jim comes home and wakes Bill, who wraps the keys in the table covers and tosses them out of the window, but he has to go downstairs in his night shirt to let Jim in because the latter insists that someone has stolen the keyhole. Bill goes to recover the table cover and Jim closes the door and goes to bed. He sleeps so soundly that Bill cannot waken him. An actor is leaving the house by the rope route and Bill tries to climb up the rope, but he falls. The policeman on the beat happens along and clubs him before Bill can explain. They find an open window and the policeman wants to boost him in through, but Bill objects, because it is the old maid's room. The policeman declares the old maid is asleep and that Bill can sneak through on tiptoe. It might have worked, but Bill knocks over a table. The crash rouses the old maid and she rouses the house. Bill tries to explain that the policeman pushed him in, but the policeman has fled and that alibi doesn't work. Bill has to give the elderly woman an engagement ring and he goes upstairs to take it out on Jim. Written by
