He is engaged in waiting on customers and passes odd moments in making love to the girls who enter. His wife sees him, and that is the beginning of the end. The clerk in the store stands talking to the cashier, and both are knocked into a box. Paddy rescues them and leads the cashier into the store. There he makes ardent love and is seen by the clerk, who calls Paddy's wife. She discharges the cashier and forces Paddy to scrub the floor. The clerk enters and robs the cash register. He goes out and meets the cashier and both go to a beach resort. Paddy discovers he is robbed and starts out in search of the two. He discovers them and picks the clerk's pocket, recovering his stolen money. The cashier sees him with the big roll of bills and immediately falls for him again. Together the two go to a roller rink, where skating in bathing suits is the rage. The clerk discovers them and telephones Paddy's wife. She and the clerk rush into the skating rink where they create excitement galore. Paddy and the cashier escape to a roller coaster. The clerk is a close second to them and as they leap into one of the cars he follows. A fierce fight starts and continues while the car is going at lightning speed. The wife and police run to the beach and watch them. The car goes up and up and around and around. Suddenly it crashes from the rails and tumbles with its occupants 250 feet into the ocean below. Paddy, the cashier and the clerk struggle from the surf, only to be met by the wife and the police. Paddy knocks them to one side and still holding the cashier's hand skates down the boardwalk. The two skate through the rear door of the store, coming up against the pillars with such a force that roof, walls and shelving fall in, burying them and the rest of its occupants beneath.
