Annoyed by Polly's screeching. Old Man Hokus hangs her out of the window and goes to bed. Mike and Jake, two chicken fanciers, escape from jail by rubbing the bars with a liquid preparation which softens the steel and makes it easy to bend. Out of jail the two crooks proceed to rob old man Hokus' chicken coop. They are discovered by the parrot and she sets up a terrific screeching, which awakens the old man. Grabbing his gun he dashes downstairs and locates Mike and Jake throwing brickbats at the parrot. Hokus fires his gun and fills the crooks with bird shot. They lock themselves in the chicken coop. Hokus then phones for the police. At the police headquarters the chicken fanciers have just been missed, when Hokus phones. The chief sends out a detail of cops. Hokus camps outside of the chicken coop door, occasionally sending a load of shot through, just to let them know he is there. The police arrive and surround the coop, but Mike and Jake succeed in breaking out and dashing to an old shack, climb on the roof and hide behind the chimney. They are soon located and then a merry battle starts to oust them. While the cops shot up at them the two crooks pull bricks from the chimney and start to annihilate the whole force. In throwing a brick from the chimney Mike loses his balance and falls through the roof, dragging Jake with him. They land right in the midst of the cops, put up a terrible battle and break away, dive through the door, but outside they are caught by old man Hokus, who had been standing guard with his gun. Hokus gets back his chickens, Mike and Jake are taken back to jail. The old man takes the Polly and fowls and decides that the best place for them is in bed with him.
