The irate proprietor of a hotel discharges his hotel clerk after the "Hawkshaw" of the inn tells him the young upstart is flirting with his daughter. But when the young fellow returns and scales a water pipe to elope with the daughter, he is the ready-made hero at hand to save the landlord from being blown up with dynamite by two villains who had robbed the hotel safe. And then he is suitably rewarded with the hand, or is it the paw, of the "daughter."
