Susie has another admirer: Willie, a friend of Judge Short, who is running for re-election; Silas Crank is his political rival. The town marshal makes life miserable for Willie, and Willie resolves to get even. He does so by purchasing a chicken, then pretending to steal it. The ostentatious marshal arrests him but is discomforted when Susie comes to Willie's rescue and proves that the chicken was not stolen. Silas Crank has prepared to give his followers a banquet, but when the friends gather, Silas learns from his wife that the refrigerator containing the food has been stolen. In the park, Susie and Willie see a tramp walking away with the refrigerator. They notify the marshal, who refuses to believe them, having been fooled once before by Willie and the chicken. Susie and Willie meet Silas and his followers. They tell them of seeing a tramp with the missing ice box. In the meantime, the tramp has carried off the contents of the refrigerator in his arms. The marshal meets the tramp and takes the stuff away from him, and ordering him out of town, he sits down to enjoy a quiet repast. He is caught in the act by the angry Silas and crowd. The marshal is disgraced. The disappointed crowd leaves Silas and rallies to Judge Short. Willie and Susie are too busy making love to be worried about the outcome of the election.
