Ham and Bud, employed as street cleaners, become heroes when they stop Gwendoline's runaway steed. The girl loses her necklace in the excitement. The adventurers find the jewel and when a reward is offered for its return the following day, Ham decides to return the necklace. He promises to split the reward, 50-50, with his pal. Gwendoline has made an awful hit with Ham. Hastening to her palatial home, he gives her the necklace. Ham also informs her that he is a nobleman in disguise. As the result, when Gwendoline's father later offers to reward Ham for returning the jewel, his daughter indignantly informs the father of Ham's social position. Bud, tiring of waiting, enters the house and demands his share of the reward. Distracting Gwendoline's attention for a moment, Ham shamelessly kicks his little pal out of the place. Jack, the girl's sweetheart, appears. Gwendoline, however, hypnotized over the thought of being in the company of a nobleman, sniffs at Jack in disdain. The forlorn youth leaves the grounds. He meets Inspector McGinnis, Ham's boss, outside. The inspector, a regular Simon Legree, is looking for Ham. Jack tells the man of Ham's whereabouts. McGinnis thereupon blows his whistle. Ham recognizes the summons and hastens to obey. Back he rushes to his broom and shovel. Pausing only to aim a swift kick at Bud, who is jeering at him. Ham does his share towards making the city's streets clean and sanitary.
