Disheartened, they stride into the railway station where their eyes fall upon a man decked out with diamonds. Heinie and Louie think quickly; they decide to follow the illustrious gentleman with a view of parting him from his wealth. That night they stealthily enter the house they see him enter and suddenly come in contact with a large vase which falls and breaks. The count and his valet rush down and confront the two, who are all unnerved. Not desiring to be sent to jail, they pretend to be newspaper reporters. Through this medium Heinie and Louie find that the man they intended to rob is a count, who came to America for the purpose of marrying an heiress, whom the Count had never seen. The two friendly Dutchmen imprison the Count and his valet and decide to pose as the Count. Heinie and Louie call on the heiress and introduce themselves as "the Count and his noble friend." They are accorded a hearty welcome and the heiress falls a victim of love to the charms of the "pseudo count." But the real Count and his valet, whom Heinie and Louie thought safely imprisoned, free themselves with the aid of the famous police force and wend their hasty steps in the direction of the heiress' home, where Heinie and Louie are stopping. The real Count presents himself and a chase starts. Heinie and Louie, seeing that they are about to be caught, lock themselves in a box car and the chasing mob fall in a heap from exhaustion beside the passing train. Written by
