Mike rewards the tramp ...See moreMike, the plumber, is ordered to solder the leaking pipes of a motorboat and accidentally falls headlong into the lake. Being unable to swim, his lusty cries for help bring a tramp, who rescues him with a boat hook. Mike rewards the tramp by taking him home, feeding him and giving him his best and only suit of clothes, while he himself is obliged to go about in his overalls. In more ways than one the tramp takes advantage of Mike's kindness, imposing on him and making himself a general nuisance around the house, all of which Mike cannot resent because he owes his life to him. He even goes so far as to become attentive to Mike's sweetheart. This is the last straw; poor Mike becomes despondent and decides to commit suicide by drowning. He goes to the very place where the tramp rescued him from a watery grave and deliberately jumps in, but to his surprise and amazement finds shallow water, hardly up to his waist. It now dawns upon him that the ungrateful tramp did not save his life after all. Accordingly he goes home, kicks the tramp out, becomes reconciled to his sweetheart, and once more happiness and peace reign supreme in Mike's home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
