Foolshead is employed in a shop. He thinks more of making eyes at the master's daughter than of serving the customers, and between serving one and another he finds time to kiss her more or less secretly. The neglected customers complain, and so the gigantic master takes the diminutive Foolshead and throws him out of the shop. Rolling between the legs of a passerby, he passes through the window of the underground goods deposit and falls plump in the midst of boxes and parcels. After much difficulty, he succeeds in returning to the shop and wishes to recommence his love adventure. He is discovered and again begins the usual flight, full of accidents, which ends in a grand master stroke by Foolshead. Followed by a crowd of people, he places a large wardrobe in their way, and when they fall inside he quickly locks them in. He then sits triumphantly on the top with his sweetheart. The father, who is locked in the wardrobe, is obliged to consent to the wedding if he wishes to be set free from his inconvenient prison.
