One day when the doctor finds a button off his coat, his wife on sewing it on finds a note in his pocket. Now, this note is a love letter which the doctor picked up in the street, but of course his wife does not know anything of this, and the physician having been called out, the poor girl takes a little poison. Now it happens that Husky Jim, a young and versatile burglar, has entered the house for the purpose of plying his trade and witnesses the attempt at suicide. Looking around eagerly for some method of aiding the now thoroughly scared girl. The burglar sees the doctor's note telling where he may be phoned to if necessary. Promptly phoning the burglar gets instructions to keep the lady walking until her husband arrives. In the meantime, however, a passerby has seen Husky Jim's entrance and sent for the police. They arrive before the doctor, so that when the physician enters the house he finds his wife being hustled unceremoniously up and down the room with a burglar on one side and the police on the other. Of course the physician soon straightens out matters as far as his wife is concerned, and dismisses the police with the story that the burglar is his servant and that he had to climb in the window because the doctor had the key. After the police are gone, the doctor gives Husky Jim a job about the house. This Jim holds just long enough to find out where the money is located and helping himself to some of it writes a note to the doctor saying that he has quit, but had helped himself to the physician's usual fee in an emergency case, to wit, $50.00.
