Our hero is in love with the daughter of the village blacksmith, and when the landlord comes to get the rent, he helps his prospective father-in-law to get the best of him. The landlord hides some money under the seats of his car, and the money stolen by the hero is used to pay the rent. The eloping of the blacksmith's daughter with the landlord, to save her lover and father from jail, affords an opportunity for a funny chase in which a horse carriage, a Ford car, and a motorcycle take part.
