There is a judge, his court clerk and a beautiful lunch-wagon waitress all mixed up in the plot. Oh, yes, there is the judge's disagreeable neighbor who gets him all wet with his hose one morning. The judge longs for revenge. The waitress is arrested for throwing a pie at a cop and is brought before the judge. She has seen an ad in the paper for a girl and gets the judge to let her off so she gets it. It proves to be the disagreeable neighbor of the judge, who wants the girl. Later the judge receives a court order to attach the property of one J. Smith for non-payment of bills. He sends his clerk to clean the place out. They are told by Mr. Smith that the place they want is next door. The clerk takes the long and short of it with him to the next house and starts putting labels on everything in the house. Just as they have completed the job the judge walks in. Low and behold, they have ruined the judges' house. In the meantime the now ex-waitress has brought her boss over to the house to help get rid of the men. He is pinched by the judge and the girl and the clerk fall into each others arms.
