Sweedie tells her beau that her love has grown cold, so he decides to jump in the lake and end it all. He is prevented from taking this awful step by a stranger in the city, who goes to the buxom Sweedie, after making the rescue, and tries to make himself a hero in her eyes. He fails to show his bravery, however, in rescuing Sweedie sometime later, when she has hooked a big fish and is being dragged out in the lake. He calls the police and a chase in the motorboat ensues, in which they catch up to Sweedie and assist her in pulling in her large catch. The hook breaks and the monstrous fish gets away. Angry at their interference, Sweedie dumps them all in the lake and sallies forth to again try her luck.
