Charlie meets a couple and agrees to care for the man's crippled uncle. After the couple breaks up, the man's new girl drops some eggs, which Charlie slips on while trying to control the wheelchair. Charlie sets up the uncle near another wheelchair on a jetty, from which he lifts a beggar's cup and "invalid" sign; he places these with the uncle and money starts to roll in. Charlie takes the money and buys himself a drink. Returning, he gets to know the abandoned young woman. After pushing the uncle and his chair into the drink and battling the beggar and two policemen, one of whom arrests the uncle, Charlie beats up his rival and gets the girl.
