Cliff Jordan is down and out. He meets two crooks. Shorty and Slim, who live in his hotel. The crooks plan to rob a safe and to use Cliff and a girl as unconscious confederates. They hide the money in a box of candy, which they pass to the girl. She gives it to Cliff to hold for her. Detectives are chasing the crooks. Cliff, in his room, opens the box and finds money instead of candy. He goes with his find to the crooks. They tell him that he has been used as a tool. The detectives overhear this. They enter and arrest the crooks. They are about to arrest Cliff, too, when he pulls out a card, with "Phil Kelly, Detective," on it, and asks them to meet his wife, who is responsible for a large part of their joint success.
