The first scene shows a party playing cards in the Nemo Club, with the result that one of the party is cleaned out. He leaves the table and we see him leaving the club house in despair. He goes to his lodgings and there plans a hoax with his room mate. They procure the uniforms of a sergeant and a policeman. The sergeant orders some of the regular members of the force to assist his substitute in raiding the Nemo Club. This they do very effectively. The regular police clear out all of the gamers. The bogus sergeant and his policeman follow them, gather up all the money and make their escape. In order to further disguise their movements, after reaching the club they change clothes with a peddler. The hoax is soon discovered, however, between members of that Nemo Club, and they start out on a hunt for the raiders. They are finally found, dividing up the spoils, and are treated to a surprise in a way that they hardly expected, and which any audience will thoroughly enjoy.
