Plot

Dr. Jones is a bone setter who is consulted by Mr. Osgood, a highly anxious man.[2] Dr. Jones tells him that he needs to relax and offers him two tickets to the opera. Nearby, a plumber, Michael Clancy (Garwood) is repairing pipes in the doctor's cellar and flirting with the doctor's cook Edwina (Fagan). Mrs. Osgood (Marcell) phones the plumbing office and Clancy is sent to the Osgood house to fix the radiator. Before starting the repair, Clancy reads about a diamond robbery, believed to be an inside job, where thieves made off with $100,000, and tells an associate that he intends to become a burglar. When Clancy arrives at the Osgood home, Mr. Osgood offers him the opera tickets.
