Mrs. Henry is afraid of burglars and begs her husband not to go to the club. He goes, however, leaving her alone and Mrs. Henry looks under the bed and turns in. At Two A.M. Henry comes homes, but in error he tries to enter his neighbor’s house. He thinks he is locked out, so tries to climb in a window. He is seen by Spike Murphy, who mistakes Henry for another burglar and tells him the place is no good and proposes that they “crack the crib next door.” Henry is averse to this but when Spike menaces him with a gun, he gives in. They are seen by Hogan, a patrolman who summons the reserves. Henry is aghast at finding he is compelled to rob his own home. He falls with a tray, awakening his wife, also the maid and the cook. Mrs. Henry recognizes her husband’s voice as he pleads to Spike for mercy, and comes downstairs. Spike pushes Henry under the table and also hides, but Mrs. Henry drags her husband out. Spike realizes that Henry lives in the house and he pushes the gun against Henry’s ribs and threatens him if he moves. Henry has to sit and endure his wife, in fear of death. Hogan enters and announces there is a burglar in the house. Henry denies it. Hogan finds the bag of silver and Henry says he put the silver in the bag. Spike reaches up and turns out the light. Mrs. Henry screams. Upstairs the maid and cook crawl under the bed. Spike rushes through the house seeking safety. Henry also seeks safety. Spike enters the room where the maid and cook are and tries to crawl under the bed. He sees them and gets out. Henry tries to hide in a room. Spike picks out the same room. Henry trips him and shuts him in. Hogan then captures him. Henry tells his wife he has been trailing Spike and takes all the credit for the capture. His wife apologizes and Henry says he will forgive her, if it never happens again.
