Sam Bernard is working as chef in the café of Glen Cavender. Sam steals Glen's private stock whiskey and Glen cuffs and kicks the hilarious chef when he discovers the larceny. This arouses Sam's ire, and he puts what he thinks is poison into a mince pie he bakes for Glen. Mae Busch. the cashier in the restaurant, has a pretty sister. Glen sends the pie to the sister. When Sam finds where the pie is gone, he is remorseful and confesses his guilt to Glen. Sam gets a taxi and races for the sister's house. He is wrecked on the way and jumps on a motorcycle. He runs through a brick building and then a lunch wagon, strewing bricks and woodwork in all directions. He finally comes to the place, but the girl has eaten some of the pie. Sara takes out a bottle labeled poison and drinks a liberal amount. It all comes out right when Glen rushes in with the word that he had put some of his private stock in the bottle with the death's head.
