 A pretty girl (Mabel Normand) will be the object of affection of two desperate suitors. One of them (film director Mack Sennet) is displaced by an opportunistic little man (Charlie Chaplin). Both of them will have a war, throwing themselves bricks. Charlie is throwing bricks hidden inside of a sort of shed. But Sennet will join him, when a third man (Mack Swain) appears on scene, and threatens to steal the girl s attention. However, when Charlie and Sennet begins to plan a strategy inside the shed, Charlie will play dirty and with a huge hammer, leaves Sennet unconscious. But a precocious kid (Gordon Griffith), apparently will be the fourth "man" trying to win over the girl. Charlie manages to get rid of the kid, but Sennet and Swain will have the chance of having their revenge.
