Jackson returns from work one evening to find the pair engaged in a friendly scuffle. He takes the boy into the house and orders the eccentric old man to go home. That night Freddie decides to run away. He crawls over the back porch, goes to Bunkie's window, and induces him to join him. It is a dark night and they lose their way in the woods. During the night a band of desperadoes visits the bank in which Jackson is employed and escape with several packages of valuables. They cross the pathway of the two runaways, whose identity they do not detect, and believing that they're being pursued, they hide the money in a cave. Through a peculiar chain of circumstances, the next morning Jackson is accused of the robbery and is placed in jail. Meanwhile Bunkie and Freddie find a resting place in the cave and discover the package of valuables. While they inspect their newfound wealth, the sheriff comes along, discovers them, and escorts them back to the bank, where explanations follow and Jackson is liberated.
