The feed store boy is fastening bags of flour to a rope for the purpose of having them hauled to the second floor. Clarence the Cop comes along and reprimands the boy for obstructing the sidewalk. At the same time another workman, with some bags on skids, enters and trips up the policeman unintentionally. The policeman threatens to arrest the two, but the boy fastens the rope to the policeman's belt and he is hauled up and pelted with flour.
