Learn more- Hughie's better half leaves the dressing of her little girl to him, so he costumes her in a pillowcase with the horns cut off. The most important people in town besides Hughie and his wife are the Purity League, headed by Judge Knott. Hughie takes his daughter to the beach and puts her in her baby-wagon in the shade to nap, but she is a fine swimmer and takes a dip. The lifeguard is sleepy, sees the empty wagon, and climbs in for a nap. Hughie and the Judge both pick out beach-peaches and have a good time. Someone pushes the wagon and the lifeguard is shoved into the sea. Hughie thinks that his little one is drowning and calls for help. The lifeguard brings her in while Hughie is having a lovely time with the girls. One of them dresses in a seaweed skirt and does a Hula Hula. They tell Hughie that he would be a hit as a dancer and wreath him in seaweed. Of course Hughie believes all this hot air about his being a vision in a Hula Hula outfit, and he dances his head, arms, and legs off just to prove it. Mrs. Hughie never said anything like this to him, and the exhilarating effect on the beach maidens causes him to double his exertions until he drops limp on the beach like a baby whale. The Purity League resolves to clean up the beach, and the whole bunch is arrested and taken to the station. There they recognize Judge Knott, and threaten to give him away if he fines them, so he lets them all go. The prettiest girl writes a note to Hughie asking him to meet her on the beach that night. When he goes she prepares to let her confederate in to rob his house. Wifie wakes and finds the note. Hughie, tired of waiting, returns to the house and meets the girl. He hides her in his wife's room. Mrs. Hughie has met the lifeguard, whom she brings home with her. The girl tells Hughie that a strange man is with his wife. Hughie and the guard fight. Then Hughie's kiddie comes in and asks for the pretty lady who was there, and the fat is in the fire. Wifey calls the cops, and Hughie's finish is a rapid one.
