Two friends meeting in a saloon lay plans by which they hope to realize easy money. Accordingly both men secure appropriate disguises and go out to lift the loose articles of the unsuspecting pedestrians. Unfortunately for each other, the two make up so swell that they do not recognize one another, and one picks the pocket of the other. Caught in the act, the alarm is sounded, and both are taken into custody, and at the station their disguise is disclosed and the two friends are allowed to share the same fate in the jail.
