Mrs. Flyhigh, a well-known society leader of the neighborhood, is out taking the air the same afternoon and runs afoul of a footpad. The latter is in the act of robbing the fair lady, when the gun, which Heinie happens to be cleaning at the moment, explodes and wounds the desperado, causing him to take to his heels. Of course, Heinie "saves" the lady's life with a well-directed shot, and although that was not his intention when the gun went off, he receives full credit for it. She takes him to her home and is giving him the proper adulation that heroes are wont to receive, when Louie, who has been left out in the cold, runs for Mr. Flyhigh, telling him that his wife is entertaining a stranger. Friend husband runs for his gun and Louie, to help along the good work, buys a bomb at a local bomb factory. This he hurls into the once-happy home and blows it to atoms.
