She accepts them all, and the rendezvous is the park bench at 7:00. Willie and Emma Jarr steal a bottle of glue from the carpenter and apply a thick layer of the sticky stuff to the park-bench seat. The three swains arrive and take their seats on the treacherous bench. They get into an argument, try to rise, and find they cannot. Daring Dan, the reckless laundry driver, sees their predicament and with an eye for business, sells them three pairs of white duck pants belonging to the Commodore, one of his customers. Daring Dan then drives to the Commodore's and excitedly tells him he has been robbed. They set out in search of the thieves. Meanwhile. Gertrude meets Casey, the police officer, who also invites her to the excursion. She accepts, forgetting all about the other three. The whole party, including the Commodore and Dan, meet on the boat. The Commodore recognizes his "white ducks" and during the riotous commotion which follows, Gertrude jumps overboard. Brave Claude jumps after her and rescues her. Gertrude then flouts the others and smiles on Claude in gratitude for saving her life. Accusations and counter-accusations commence anew about the trousers, but finally the truth comes out, and after having Daring Dan arrested, the Commodore proves a good fellow by allowing the three friends to keep on the white ducks, and joining in the dance on deck.
