- Three tramps steal some whiskey. Two of them are caught and thrown in jail. The third tramp hides in the distillery, which is next door to the police station. He rigs up a hose to the jail and all three get drunk.
- Sunday morning, Spent Spencer, Exhausted Eddy and Vimless Victor, three tramps, steal a bottle of whiskey from the box on the window sill of the home of Jiggs, owner of a distillery. But the box is knocked off and the other bottles are broken. Julia, Jiggs' wife, hears the crash and goes after the tramps with the broom. She calls Jiggs, but when he arrives the tramps have escaped. The tramps celebrate, but they attract the attention of a cop, who blows his whistle for assistance. The cops give chase and Victor and Spencer are caught, but Eddy, after being shot in the back, escapes by hiding in an ash barrel. The two are locked up and Eddy finds his way to Jiggs' distillery, next door to the police station. In the distillery Eddy comes on a find, but desirous of letting his pals in, he calls to them to look out of the window, over the roof and down in front of the cell window, then, after he has filled himself up, he lies down for a nap. Unfortunately Jiggs and Julia come in to get some papers Jiggs has forgotten. Jiggs investigates as Julia guards Eddy with a pistol. Understanding the situation, Jiggs attaches the hose to the slops vat. In the cell the tramps become hilarious and the police captain sends to learn the cause. The police goes into the cell a moment after Victor has imbibed a generous amount of the slops. He spies the hose and takes a good drink himself. When Eddy is awakened, Julia recognizes him. She gives him a pummeling and kicks him downstairs, after which the two march him to the police station, where he is thrust in the cell with the others. Angered at the slops the police attack the tramps, but Eddy locks the cell door and they beat him up. The police call for help, but the other policeman cannot get in, so they turn the hose on the men to subdue them, but the "cops" get most of the water.—Moving Picture World synopsis
