Chester is first seen as a demonstrator for a physical culture apparatus company and is just about to close a deal for a big order when Slim enters and Chester, to prove the merits of his article, starts a demonstration on the elongated one. Slim upsets the whole party and beats up Chester, with the result that the prospective buyer changes his mind. Chester loses his job but quickly gets another one as assistant to a dentist. The judge comes in to be treated and Chester doses him with gas. Slim again enters on the scene and in the fight that follows the judge is the recipient of a beautiful colored optic. The judge goes to a beauty parlor to have his eye recolored and there meets Alice, Chester's sweetheart. Chester and Slim also happen in. A mix-up, in which the judge loses his trousers, ensues, and next day the entire party is brought to court. Chester is about to be sentenced for life, but Alice interferes by exhibiting the judge's trousers, and Chester goes scot-free. The judge is at the receiving end of a sound beating, administered by his dutiful spouse.
