A number of boys are enjoying themselves at the old swimming hole in the bend of the creek, disporting themselves on the bank and in the water minus bathing suits: clad only in nature's garb. Tad and Mark, two urchins, are not members of the swimming hole gang. Mark, by showing he can do stunts, becomes a regular member, but forgets poor Tad, and helps the gang drive him away. Later, Tad, while stealing a swim all by himself, rescues the daughter of the owner of the surrounding land, and as a reward is given title to the swimming pool. In the meantime the boys are arrested by the former owner, and in court it looks as if it will go hard with them, when Tad rushes in, proves to the judge that he is the owner, and returns good for evil by declaring that he gave the gang permission to swim. Earnest Butterworth appears as Tad, Guy Hayman as Mark, and Ruth Hampton as the girl Tad rescues.
