For safety he darts into a building and then into one of the apartments, the musty home of an organ grinder and a monkey. The organ grinder attempts to put him out but Jerry gets his sympathy by explaining his plight. As the police arrive a happy idea strikes the organ grinder. He will masquerade Jerry as a monkey, to take the place of his sick monk, and not only escape the law but have a means of making some money by the transformation. Jerry assents and the police are fooled by the change. After the departure of the officers the organ grinder and Jerry, as his monk, start out to earn some of the wherewithal. Money is flowing steadily in the tin cup until Jerry's weakness crops out. In the window of the fourth story of a building he spies the pretty face of a girl and loses no time in climbing up the side of the building and into the room. The girl is maid to a wealthy woman and Jerry is about to embrace her when the mistress enters. The organ grinder tugs at the rope to which Jerry is tied at the other end, causing Jerry to embrace the mistress. Her husband enters and uses a gun with painful effect. Without hesitation Jerry jumps from the window and does a zig-zag from window to window all the way from the fourth floor to the street. Jerry and the grinder hurry to another section of the city and arrive just in time to see the Rajah and the Prince abducting a girl. The two grab hold of the back of the automobile in which the kidnappers and their victim are speeding away and are taken within the gates of the palace. Jerry gets into the Rajah's harem and is having the time of his life when the police, who have traced him and his partner, arrive. They are about to arrest Jerry when he tells them of the kidnapping of the girl by the Rajah and the Prince. The girl is produced and released, the two kidnappers arrested and Jerry complimented for his work. The police leave with the kidnappers and the victim while Jerry and the organ grinder, now perfectly safe, remain in the harem, the grinder playing music while Jerry dances for the fair inmates.
