A criminal named "Worms" McGrew escapes and flees to a rowboat, prompting a man to pursue him by water. After a violent confrontation on the beach where both men scramble to their feet, the pursuer strikes the criminal and takes his cap as a disguise, planning to send the police to capture McGrew later. In a separate story, a man named Homer attempts to solve the mystery of "Worms" McGrew's whereabouts while enjoying a fishing trip, eventually discovering that McGrew is disguised as a fisherman and following him. The story features Homer's investigation, encounters with snakes (including cobras), and various comedic situations involving animals and disguises throughout.
