Heinie invites Lizzie to the Waiters' Union picnic. When at the picnic grove entrance, Lizzie is seen by Jack Darrow, a young millionaire, who flirts with her. Heinie is jealous and takes Lizzie out for a row, but breaks the oar and in trying to steer the boat to keep it from going over the falls, loses the other oar. Jack Darrow sees them and calls for help. Jack takes a rope and just as Heinie and Lizzie are about to go over the falls he throws it over Heinie's head and the crowd pulls them to shore. Jack takes Lizzie away. Heinie starts to remonstrate with Jack for stealing his girl and is about to strike Jack, when Jack knocks him down. Heinie now is sore and makes a deal with an Italian for a knife, gun and bomb, agreeing to give him $10 for them, but when he gets the firearms in his possession he refused to pay the Italian. He kicks him away and runs in search of Jack Darrow. The Italian in the meantime rushes back to his companion and they start out to get revenge. Heinie discovers Jack and Lizzie, lights and throws the bomb which falls at the feet of Jack, who picks it up and lights his cigarette with it, throwing it back. It falls at Heinie's feet. He runs for dear life. Some boys are playing football in the field and the ball lands at Heinie's feet, he thinks it is the bomb and rushes to his restaurant chased by the Italians. They throw a bomb in the door and it explodes and blows up the place. Heinie emerges from the ruins, picks up the cash register and rushes to the street. He meets Lizzie, who is returning after having a quarrel with Jack. Heinie picks her up in his arms and runs, but the money drawer falls out depositing the money on the road, which is taken by the Italian. Then we see Heinie and Lizzie on the railroad track walking; she is unable to go any further and then she tells him what a brute he is. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
