- A quartet of young men are drinking in a cafe, when the smallest of the four begins to boast of his powers at the oars. A defy is immediately hurled, and soon they are at a boathouse, where the boaster hires a jolly boat. He almost loses his balance at the outset, and when he finally takes the oars up he begins to splash about helplessly, but the tide carries him out. He rows into the midst of a throng of bathers and they splash him with water; rowing near to a float he upsets into the water a photographer who is about to take a picture of the scenery. Still he is floundering clumsily at the oars. A police motor-boat goes out on his trail, and they follow him, catching up with his boat very near to a waterfall. They are just about to place him under arrest when he rows to the brink, and the next moment is shooting down the rapids. The police launch turns back. After many more escapades as a result of his novice oarsman-ship he works himself into the way of a derrick which is in operation at the water front; its giant hook grapples the boat and lifts it in the air, the occupant tumbling into the water. Police, workmen and civilians jump into the water to rescue him, his jibing comrades having been alarmed spectators of his various misfortunes.
