Jones, a gay old sport, has a date with a pretty girl, and goes to meet her at a masquerade ball, dressed as Mephisto. His wife learns of what is going on, and follows him. She chases him from the ballroom into the men's dressing room, but is stopped at the door by attendants. Mike, becoming desperate, climbs up the fire escape and into the dressing room. Jones sees him and has a bright idea. He offers the convict a hundred dollars to change clothes with him. This is quickly accomplished, then the police dash up the fire escape and arrest Jones as the escaped convict. Mrs. Jones breaks in the door and chases Mike until he escapes by jumping on an outgoing freight train. Jones tells his story to the magistrate, who calls up his wife. After he has begged her forgiveness, she verifies his story and he is set free. Meantime, Mike scares occupants of the freight caboose and steals their lunch. Seeing the police coming in a big automobile, he jumps off the train and runs into a crowd of negroes holding a camp meeting. Thinking Mike, in his costume, is the devil himself, they flee. Mike makes the colored preacher change clothes with him and then dashes off into the woods. The police keep right after him however, and he is finally chased to the beach, where Jones and his wife are in bathing. Mike gets into Mrs. Jones' bathhouse and dresses up in some of her apparel. The police start a flirtation with the convict, now a "pretty girl," and Mrs. Jones seeing her missing clothes on Mike, starts a fight, which ends up by Mike being badly beaten and glad to be taken back to prison where he can enjoy a little peace.
