Farmer boy Fatty is in love with his employer's daughter Mabel; his rival for her affection is Al St. John, a neighboring farmer's son. Al is enraged at the news of Fatty's marriage and swears vengeance. Mabel's father gives the happy couple a cottage by the seashore as a wedding present; they go there for their honeymoon, accompanied by Fatty's dog Fido. A terrible storm comes up in the night. The rival has been chased away from the house by the dog, but he enlists the aid of a band of robbers and returns. During the wild night, while the newlyweds are peacefully sleeping, the robbers knock the underpinnings of the cottage away and it floats out to sea. When the couple are awakened by the storm, they find themselves far out to sea with their cottage slowly sinking. They tie a note calling for help to Fido's neck and head him towards shore. Fido has a hard fight with the towering waves, but he finally struggles to shore and awakens Mabel's parents. On reading the note, they phone for the harbor police and start for the seashore on their old tandem bicycle. On their arrival, they find the real-estate man (Glen Cavender), who sold them the little cottage, about to embark on his yacht. He takes them aboard and starts to the rescue. All this time the cottage has been settling deeper in the water and finally Fatty and Mabel must dive out of a window and get on the roof. They are rescued just in the nick of time by the yacht, as their cottage suddenly sinks out of sight. The rival and the robbers have returned to their café and get into a quarrel. A robber accidentally drops a cigar into a keg of powder. It explodes, wrecking the café and destroys the occupants. Fatty, Mabel, Fido, and the parents return to their happy home rejoicing over their narrow escape.
