After an all night session with the bottle, Al plays William Tell with his fat buddy and awakens him by shooting an apple off his head. Then, being in a trance, he walks a wire rope to a building across the way. His buddy dashes out and meets an undertaker on the way. The two climb up the building which is on the opposite side of the street and behold Al seemingly step off. They are horror-struck until they peer over and see him safely riding on a safe which is being lowered. Then, they see him step out of a barber-shop and walk down the street, shaving himself. He gets on a truck, switches to another, and finally winds up the day in a bed that covers the show space of a furniture store. The next day he drives up with his buddy, in their limousine, to repair the plumbing of a large house.
