Dodge Work, meet to hear the reading of the will of Patch Work. I. Dodge Work, the nephew, is vindictive when Uncle leaves him a brass monkey, his most cherished treasure. Jonah is unable to pay alimony to Birdie, his divorced wife, and she urges her "little" brother onto him. Before Birdie's brother appears, Jonah falls down a stairway, is hit by a telephone pole and has a series of exciting episodes with Genevieve, his daughter. Birdie's brother, Big Bill, proceeds to attend to Jonah Mudd, but encounters a fierce canine. Finally at an auction sale, I. Dodge Work garbs himself in the skin of a gigantic bear. Jonah believes the bear a live one. With a revolver, he gives chase and a sensational pursuit results. The end comes when Jonah and the bear are lifted through roofs by the force of an explosion.
