Sweedie, the cook at the Rich household, buys a donkey from the captain of the police, but forgets to pay for it. He raids the house in an effort to get his money, and as a result Sweedie is fired. Short of money and out of a job, the husky cook takes the donkey to the county fair where she hopes to win a few cash prizes. The donkey fails to take any blue ribbons, so Sweedie removes a ribbon from one of the prize horses and is caught in the act. She then ties her pet in a racing car and starts around the race track with the police in hot pursuit. She is finally brought to a halt when she drives the machine into a tent. Here an explosion takes place which completely wrecks the machine.
