Alice Davenport, his wife, has a hard time to persuade Murray that the bear rug is not a real bear. Then the couple go out for a stroll in the park. Fritz Schade, a foreigner and his wife, May Emory, have also gone out for an airing. The two couples sit down on nearby benches. Murray is dazzled by Miss Emory's charms and signals her to meet him elsewhere. Then each of the affinities makes an excuse to get away and they meet on another bench where they start flirtation behind a parasol. Alice and Fritz miss them. When Murray and May are found, they are made to come along by their lawful partners. On the way to a hotel, Alice shows a fondness for a dog that is being led by a small boy. Murray squares himself with Alice by purchasing the canine. But there is a sign on the hotel, "No Dogs Allowed." Then Fritz and May arrive in a cab. While Fritz is disputing with the driver, Murray grabs May's grip and puts Fido within. May discovers Murray about to leave with the grip and he has to apologize. May sends the bag to her room in care of a bellboy. May and Fritz go up to their room. Then Fritz goes downstairs, which gives Murray a chance to enter May's room to get the dog. Fritz surprises him on his return and there is a hot fight. The noise brings Alice on the scene. When she finds Murray has been in to see May, she leads him out and locks him up in his room. Murray exits out of his window and gets into May's room again via the fire escape. Just then May enters the room, while Murray is about to purloin the dog. Fritz comes in, when he hears the noise, sees May in her nightgown and accuses Murray. After kicking Murray downstairs. Fritz has him thrown out of the hotel by the porter. Murray scouts around outside and sees a ladder, by which he makes entry to May's room. He opens the grip and the dog jumps out, running under the bed. Fritz comes in and sees Murray on his knees trying to coax the dog out. He drags Murray out and there is another rattling good fight. Murray wins, throwing Fritz out of the window. Fritz whirls around in his descent finally landing on a hook. Murray thinks he has killed Fritz and rushes to the roof. He falls through the skylight landing beside May, who has fainted away.
