An amusing film, depicting very vividly the sad plight of a number of patrons of public thoroughfares. The first victim is the mail carrier, who falls just a moment after he delivers a letter to the maid, upon whom he sought to make a favorable impression. Jumping to the former's assistance, both are precipitated to the walk. The carrier continues his route by using the side of the house as a guide. Another gentleman coming from the same house is cautioned, and in a dignified manner proceeds, only to be humiliated by a sudden fall. He, also, uses the house for a support to continue his way, unmindful of his dignity. Coming to an obtuse angle in the street this gentleman collides with a uniformed messenger, who has pyramids of millinery boxes strapped to his back. A few angry words follow the sprawl on the street, and the unfortunates are raining blows upon each other. An officer takes both into custody, and the three proceed only a few feet when they fall and the officer breaks his leg. Both men are about to take advantage of the opportunity to elude the law when the pitiful plea of the officer touches a tender chord and they return to his aid. Taking the man between them they proceed down the street, and make a ludicrous sight as they fall so frequently. Farther down the street they meet two men trying to pull a cart loaded with furniture. The disabled officer is mounted on top of the load, and now the four men try to move down the street. A number of amusing incidents are witnessed as others try to pass on down the streets. Finally we see our dignified friend returning to his home, but he has reversed the order and is walking on his hands, with his feet up. In this manner he uses his foot to touch the bell, and when the door opens he enters the house in the ordinary manner.
