In an apartment across the way, there is another couple and the male member of this family has a weakness for wandering away. Our hero seeks to recover a comb that the lady across the way has dropped and introduces some thrills when he attempts to crawl across to the neighboring apartment on a plank. He finally reaches his goal only to meet the returning husband. Complications follow. The innocent flirtations of the two couples eventually lead to the court room.
