The latter laughs at the Boob, not knowing that they will reckon with him later. The Boob decides to track the grafters, goes to the city, is robbed and dragged to the police station. Hazel, who has been put on the graft case, recognizes Boob and he is freed. Explaining his mission, Boob so amuses the chief of police that he tells him, for a joke, to follow the chief of detectives who has just gone out. Boob follows the detective all day. The latter becomes uneasy and writes a note to the Mayor to meet him at a café. The girl is interviewing the Mayor when the note arrives. His agitation prompts her to steal the note and she realizes that the Mayor and chief of detectives are the principals in the graft case. She follows to the café. Boob has lost the train and wanders by accident to the café for food. Hazel has meanwhile secured a place near the booth where the grafters are dividing their money. She sneezes and is discovered. After a struggle he drags the two criminals to the police station. He gets the reward and the curtain drops as the ignorant country boy divides the money with the smiling girl reporter.
