Little Billy must never have heard this, or had forgotten it. His sisters Martha and Jane are very fearful of burglars entering their room, and their little brother decides to play a joke on them. He stuffs a pair of trousers, to which he attaches a pair of boots, and places them under the bed, the feet protruding. When the girls enter their room they see what appears to be a man's feet sticking out from underneath the bed. The girls are almost frightened to death, very much to Billy's amusement. A few days later, a real burglar enters their house while their parents are out for the evening. The girls have retired. Martha sees the man, hidden under the bed, and while very much frightened, she does not lose her presence of mind. She pretends she has a toothache and says she needs to get up and go into the front room to get some medicine to relieve it. She tells Billy of the presence of the burglar and he goes out to notify the neighbors, while Martha returns to the room. Jane is reading and Martha listening and nursing her toothache. Some of the neighbors surround the house and others enter. The burglar, hearing their approach, climbs from the window and down the porch, where he is quickly captured by those waiting outside. Just as this happens, the children's parents return and are very much surprised to learn what has taken place. They don't forget to tell Billy that his joke on his sisters has come true, and warn him in the future not to joke about matters of so serious a nature, which might come true and prove disastrous.
