Runt is a sport and he leads his girl to believe that he is about to buy a swell auto. He examines several, but the prices do not suit him and he finally gets what he thinks is a bargain, a broken-down flivver for a small sum. Plump, an out-of-work chauffeur, is engaged as driver and they sally forth for the girl's home. Being a two-seated car, Runt is obliged to sit on the axle, and during the ride is lost. He calls the police and they pursue the flying couple, who leap through the clouds in their attempt to escape. A shot from below blows up the flying flivver and in the ensuing excitement the police car is driven clean through the wall of a garage, just in time to catch Plump and the girl, who, unfortunately, drop through the ceiling.
