Bob Davis and Harry Colborn are rivals for the favor of Helen Pollard, their landlord's daughter, who is an ardent hero worshiper. To settle the rivalry, Bob takes advantage of a burglar scare and arranges with a friend to disguise himself as a burglar and enter the house. Bob is to attack him single-handed and drag him out in triumph, allowing him to "escape" when out of sight. Harry overhears the plan and decides to take a hand in it. The fake burglar is arrested as he is about to get in a window. A real burglar gets into the house and is captured by Harry. The fake burglar confesses and Harry collects his reward, which is the little hand of the fair Helen.
