Ben, the janitor of the building, who believes in letting his wife do all of the work, is in the hall sweeping up when all of the trouble over the medal takes place. Paddy, the peddler, seeing the curtains in Arthur's window swaying back and forth and thinking it is someone trying to flirt with him, climbs up the fire escape and enters Moon's apartment. Here he spies the medal and manages to get it just as Arthur's wife comes into the room. Paddy hides behind a screen and furtively watches Gypsy practice archery. One of the arrows accidentally hits Ben and he is brought into the apartment to recover from his fright. Arthur comes home, and finding Ben in the house, becomes jealous. He misses the medal and starts to search for it. Paddy manages to slip it into Ben's pocket and it is found. The medal falls into the hands of all concerned and finally to its rightful owner's, but not before a two-story brick factory building is destroyed and Paddy takes a sail through the clouds.
