A whimsical early silent comedy about a prosthetic arm with a mind of its own, built on physical gags and the absurdity of an inanimate object causing mischief.

A one-armed street peddler notices that a well-to-do man has dropped his ring. He returns it to him. The wealthy man is very grateful and, to show his appreciation, takes the peddler to a 'Limb Store', where he buys him a new arm. The recipient soon discovers that this new arm has a will of its own - causing him considerable embarrassment.
