The hero teaches night school and tries to sleep in the daytime. His parrot has other ideas and keeps him awake with its wise cracks. At school his pupils prove to be men and women of all ages, who shower him with gifts. Among the presents is a loaded cigar, which the teacher puts in his pocket. After having trouble with all the bad boys in the class, dodging paper balls and trying to lecture under difficulties, he gets everything under control by the time the principal, his daughter and the school board visit the classroom. The teacher gives the cigar to the principal in an endeavor to make an impression on him. It explodes and the board leaves in disgust. A dog visits the classroom and when chased out comes back with its friends and relatives. In the chase the schoolroom is wrecked.
