- Edna is a slavey in a boardinghouse. She has a good time when she sleeps - on the floor, rolled up in a carpet, with a phonograph playing on her chest. The landlady pays her $2 a week and thinks it is too much. The star boarder loves Edna, but does not pay his rent. When the landlady comes in through the door, the boarder pops out through the window. He slips downstairs to help Edna dry dishes. Then he goes with her to the market. She gives him her bundles. He drops them, falls over them, bumps, trips and finally manages to get home with them. Edna spies an ad which calls for an athletic instructor. She takes him with her. The fat gym owner wants Edna and gives the boarder a sock in the eye to let him know that he is not wanted. Edna insists that he be hired. Then it is that the boarder has the time of his life, pulling a porous-plaster from his boss' back, and also massaging him. The boss takes a dislike to him and chases him all over the gym. Edna, meanwhile, is in gym togs doing gym tricks with the girls. The men battle in the swimming pool, on the trapeze, on an upper runway, and over the gym floor. Back in the pool again, the boarder lands on his boss' neck and sticks, thumping him with a rolling-pin for a grand and glorious victory.
- Eddie's cowboy friends frame up to make him propose to his sweetheart.
- Rembrandt starts in on the painting trade as an apprentice to Dabben Dauber, who spends more time on the canvas than Firpo. Dauber leads his apprentice a merry chase until the latter decides to get his own studio. Before he starts, he sees a customer come into his boss' studio and, rather than lose the trade, he starts to paint the old gent's portrait while the sitter's daughter wanders around. The model begins to grow uneasy, and Rembrandt makes things easier for him by bouncing a vase off his dome, and promises his daughter to finish the picture at some other time. Once established in his own studio, he is invited to exhibit at the greatest Dutch gallery. Dauber steals into his studio and steals his masterpiece, leaving a bare canvas in its place. Rembrandt pursues, carrying the blank canvas. A party drinking wine, a sign painter giving directions, a ditch digger, and a ripe tomato all help to make it an even better work than the missing picture, and he is awarded the prize, and wins the charming girl.
