- A wife who sympathizes with her hubby, who is afflicted with lumbago, discovers the newspaper advertisement of a doctor who offers to cure all such sufferers by means of an electric belt. To this doctor she goes, buys the belt and sews it in the lining of her husband's overcoat. He now comes into the room, bent and with a pained expression; but he puts on the coat and is transformed into a prancing, jumping, lively individual. The belt seems to exercise a sort of amorous influence over him, for the first thing he does on reaching the street is to jump in between two old women and kiss them vigorously; after this he tries his affections on a pretty damsel and he lands in a police station. Here, as soon as he is stripped of his coat, he is once more a bent, sick man; but his coat is put on a rack and he is thrown into a cell. A lady now enters, apparently the sergeant's friend, and the police officer taking a coat up from the rack accompanies her out. The belt has taken effect on him, for his first act on reaching the house is to kiss the maid. While he and his companions are in another room a tramp enters and steals the hat and coat. He, too, becomes seized with the fidgets and goes out on a kissing expedition, attacking several ladies with his caresses and finally making a public nuisance of himself by upsetting a push cart, the female proprietor of which he attempts to kiss. He is arrested and taken before a magistrate. As soon as he is stripped of the coat he becomes calm and normal, but he is placed under lock and key. The original owner of the coat is now brought from his cell, is given his coat and allowed to depart. On reaching the street he immediately sells it to a cast-off merchant, who also takes on the peculiar gait for which the belt is responsible. The cause of all the trouble is finally seen hanging outside of a second-hand clothing establishment, where it scares off pedestrians by its sudden violent convulsions.

Seating himself at the foot of a tree he removes his shoes to relieve his tired and aching feet. Soon he is sound asleep. Two boys coming along the way tickle him under the nose and amuse themselves at his antics. They conclude to steal his shoes and play a practical joke with them. Reaching the river we see them take two long poles and, getting into a boat, they row to the opposite shore. Here the poles are stuck into the mud of the river bed and one shoe mounted on each, giving the appearance of a human body being caught in the river bed, with the feet protruding from the water. They row back and look up an officer and give the alarm of someone having been drowned. A rescue is immediately undertaken, and as the boat approaches the other side the officer has divested himself of his coat and is preparing to grasp the luckless one by the feet. Catching hold of the feet he gives a terrific jerk, and yanking the shoes off the poles he falls back into the boat. Vexed at the humiliation he has been subjected to, he shakes his fist at the opposite shore, but when he reaches the other side the young lads have disappeared. Taking the shoes with him, he starts off down the river, and soon he comes upon the sleeping man in the woods. This party awakens about this time, and seeing his shoes in the hands of the officer politely requests them, but is hustled off to the river, where the officer, with much gusto, relates where he found the shoes and then vents his anger by throwing the shoes into the river. The excited man, anxious to save his shoes, plunges into the water and saves one of them, the other having disappeared from view. At the conclusion we see the dripping man going through the woods in his stockinged feet and carrying one shoe, which he looks at very regretfully.
