Reuben and the Widow become engaged, much to Luke's sorrow, whereupon Luke vows revenge. One day the Widow and Luke decide to buy a trunk. While Reuben is examining it, his old enemy, Luke, enters the scene. Unknown to anyone, he shoves Reuben into it, and locks it before the Widow turns from her gossiping with the clerk. The Widow misses Reuben, and Luke makes things worse by telling her that Reuben just passed him on the street, and had some classy lady friend with him. The Widow goes home with Luke, and discovers the plot when the trunk arrives. Then she and Reuben, by a trick, reverse the tables on Luke, and lock him in the trunk. The trunk then gets a rough deal, so does Luke, but finally, after having been juggled about by the gentlest of women, and after being fished out of a river, where the trunk took a submarine dive, the imprisoned Luke escapes from his misery by almost having his head cut off, and everything ends well.
