Ham and Bud are warned to beware of Meek, the most dangerous patient. Eclaire, who seeks to rob his ward, Caprice, of her fortune, determines to place her in the asylum. For the sum of $1,000, Ham and Bud are induced to lock Caprice in a cell. This, although Caprice's pleas make Ham shed bitter tears. Caprice's lover, Danny, learns what has occurred and plans to free his sweetheart. The peculiarities exhibited by the patients get on the nerves of Ham and Bud. After several encounters with the inmates, the adventurers discover that Meek is loose. They flee in terror. At the same time, Eclaire is knocked unconscious by one of the patients. Danny arrives upon the scene and releases Caprice. Ham and Bud, with Meek close behind, continue their wild efforts to escape. Utterly exhausted, the adventurers finally fall to the ground. Meek, howling fiendishly, approaches. Just as Ham and Bud expect to be murdered in cold blood, Meek bends over, gently taps both on the shoulders and gleefully cries, "Tag, you're it."
