But Mrs. Gay has fears about a burglar operating in the neighborhood. Gay calms her fears and so that she will go to bed early Gay suggests that she take a sleeping powder, but Mrs. Gay discovers the costumes, then understanding why Gay was so anxious for her to sleep, decides to turn the tables. Instead of taking the sleeping powder herself she puts it in Gay's decanter of whiskey. Then hiding the costume where Gay can't find it, she peacefully sleeps. Mary, the maid, entertains Hogan, the cop. Hogan is thirsty, so Mary helps him freely from her master's decanter. Gay is pleased when he finds his wife asleep. Not able to find the costume he is about to start to the ball without it. The drugged whiskey had its effect on Hogan. Mary, after vainly trying to awaken him, has left him asleep in the kitchen. Gay hears Hogan snoring in the kitchen, investigates and gets an idea as he sees Hogan's uniform. He leaves the house, dressed in Hogan's uniform, and then wishes he had a mask. Belt, the burglar, has just finished work in a neighboring house. He is about to leave when he sees Gay, and mistaking him for a cop, he drops bag of tools and runs. While looking through the bag, Gay discovers Belt's mask. His costume complete, he hastens to the ball. Later, Belt arrives at Gay's house, sees an open window and enters. But before he starts to work he takes several drinks of drugged whiskey and is soon fast asleep. Mrs. Gay awakens and angry at her husband's action, starts to investigate. She hears Hogan, who has awakened, and thinking that it is maybe her husband, she enters the kitchen. Seeing a strange man, she runs out screaming, and turning the key in the door, she locks Hogan in. Then tries to take refuge in the dining-room, but finds another strange man in there. She screams again as she comes from the room. Hogan hearing her scream manages to get out of the kitchen by the back door, and running around side of house, tries to enter through an open window. But Mrs. Gay, as she sees his head coming through open window, she mistakes Hogan for another burglar, and gathering courage, knocks him out with a club, then retires to her own room and locks the door. When Gay arrives home he finds Hogan unconscious. He helps him into the house, gives him back his uniform, and while Hogan is dressing, Gay discovers the burglar. Belt is still asleep. So Gay has an easy time to capture him single-handed. Mrs. Gay hearing her husband's voice, comes on the scene as Gay has his foot on the burglar's neck. Mrs. Gay embraces her husband and calls him "Her Brave Hero." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
