They find Golden, the Gottrox heiress, spooning with Dick, her sweetheart. Dick, furious at being disturbed, tries to assault Ham. The latter, however, knocks Dick down and walks off with the fickle girl. Mrs. Gottrox is anxious to have her daughter wed Count Vodka, a social lion. The latter, however, is really a Raffles, as Ham presently discovers. The latter sees the Count rob Mrs. Gottrox of a diamond pendant. A few minutes later Ham steals it from the original thief. Bud, who sees this, eventually steals the jewel from his pal. Ham follows up his good work by stealing a few gems from Mrs. Gottrox while engaging her in a mild flirtation. He arouses her husband's jealousy and the latter determines to use Ham as a floor mop. Deeply smitten with Golden, Bud presents her with the necklace which Ham had stolen from her mother. The girl recognizes the jewel and cries for help. While Dud is being manhandled by the guests, Gottrox attacks Ham, and knocking him down, whales away at him with both fists. With a yell Ham awakens. Bud, seated on Ham's chest, is securing revenge for the kick.
