Lafayette abruptly ends his affair with Kathleen when he has an opportunity to wed Alice, and accuses Jerry of trifling with Kathleen's affections.

Jerry defeats him in a fight, after which Swazey runs amok, releasing water from the reservoir and causing a flood. Lafayette drowns, but Jerry saves Alice and wins her love.
