Farmer Stephens buys a duck which he puts in an old carpet bag. Two painters, for a joke, paint a sign, "Dynamite," and pin it on the bag. Stephens, while on his way home, stops to light his pipe, and when his back is turned a crook steals his bag. The crook is about to find out the contents of the bag when he notices the sign "Dynamite" and hears the duck quacking. He thinks it is an infernal machine and drops the bag and dashes off. The villagers are gathered and told of the supposed impending danger. After a lot of excitement the brave village storekeeper picks up a pitchfork and carefully carries the bag to the police station. Stephens rushes to the police station and finds the sheriff about to immerse the bag in a water trough. He rushes in, grabs his property and discloses the contents. The laugh is on the crowd.
