His friend Algy double-crosses him for the love of the young woman. Jimmy has to steal a ticket to get on the train, and all are off for Switzerland. There, Jimmy is mistaken for the expert mountain climber Roberts. Betty is introduced to him and believes him to be the champion. The real Roberts appears, and Jimmy discovers that Roberts is the man whose tickets he stole. Roberts is angry and declares that Jimmy must climb the highest mountain there or he will expose him as a thief. Jimmy starts climbing, and a bear chases him to the top. Climbing down, he rolls part of the way and creates a giant snowball. Betty's love for him culminates in a betrothal.
