The tired father goes to bed while the young lovers play the piano, trying to keep the music going while they make love. One of the little brothers stuffs Arthur's overcoat pockets with silverware. The neighbor who is visiting him is roughly thrust out by the old man on the way to bed. To get even he ropes the door knob and ties it to a lamp post. At two A.M. pa comes downstairs to chase Betty to bed. Arthur hides under the couch and she tells her father that he had gone home. When the house is dark again Arthur tries to sneak out but makes a lot of noise with the door. Pa shouts "Burglars!" Arthur gets the door open and runs down the street pursued by cops who arrest him with the silver and throw him into jail. In the morning the family discovers the loss of the silver. They call the police who tell them that the burglar and the loot are both in jail. The kid then confesses to putting the silver in Arthur's pocket. They go to jail and get Arthur out. See less
