Maria prefers Luigi, and this so enrages the statuette vendor, that he avenges himself by stealing his rival's monkey and grind-organ. Luigi is heart-broken, but doesn't suspect who the thief is. Soon after, Angelo's cousin, Tony Spezotti, arrives from Italy, and the crafty Angelo determines at once to profit by his cousin's "greenness" and inexperience. Accordingly he outfits Tony with the stolen grind-organ and monkey and starts him out to "getta-da-mon." Unfortunately, in his peregrinations, Antonio stops before the fruit shop of Maria, and strikes up a popular ditty. Luigi- who is bewailing his loss of Maria - hears the familiar strains of his organ and rushes to investigate. Recognizing his property, he pounces furiously upon poor, innocent Tony, and has him arrested. At the station Tony succeeds in placing the blame on his unscrupulous cousin, who is immediately arrested and brought before the desk sergeant. While the sergeant is trying to get the facts of the case, Luigi attacks Angelo with a stiletto and the two engage is a furious duel. Both land in a cell. Maria is heart-broken over the arrest of her beloved Luigi, and her grief affects poor, excitable Tony, that he too bursts into tears. As a result, each turns to the other for sympathy, and Tony conducts the sorrowing Maria back to her shop. A week later Angelo and Luigi are released from jail and hasten to the fruit store at once. Imagine their surprise when poor, ignorant, despised little Tony meets the at the door in his shirt-sleeves and announces that he is now proprietor of the shop. To prove it he drags them happily inside and points to a beautiful, brand new marriage certificate adorning the wall next to the fruit shop license. Stung! is the word and as the two poor chaps stumble miserably from the shop, the blushing Maria presents them each with a large lemon for remembrance.
