Prof. Trapp and his wife give a stereopticon entertainment in Melodeon Hall, showing the dangers of the common house fly. It is decided that prizes be awarded to the catchers of most flies. Jim Billings, commercial traveler, arrives in Bloom Center and suffering from an attack of indigestion, he is given paris green by Phil Pickle, the druggist, through mistake. The judges in the "fly-swatting" campaign leave their work and rush to Jim Billings' aid. While they are reviving him, the clerk dumps all the dead flies into a garbage can. Jim Billings recovering, kills three flies and places them in a fly trap. When he encounters the judges, his three flies are three more than anyone else has, and he captures all the prizes.
