Slippery Slim purchases a large piece of Limburger cheese. On the way home he stops to chat with Sophie, but Hiram, her father, chases him off the premises. Before going Sophie manages to write a note on his cuff telling him to call that evening after her father has retired. Upon arriving home, Mustang discovers the note. That night Slim steals to Sophie's home and is having the time of his life when Mustang slips a piece of the cheese in his pocket, by reaching through a window. Sophie immediately begins to sniff, and Mustang's laughter awakens Hiram who rushes down stairs with an ax and chases Slim and Mustang until they take refuge up a telegraph pole. He starts to chop down the pole, and their fate seems certain until Mustang remembers the cheese in Slim's pocket. He lowers it tied to a string and Hiram is forced to give up.
