Plot summary

Musty goes for a day's fishing, but bites are scarce and he whiles away the time reading an exciting story entitled "The Bold, Bad Pirate." He goes to sleep sitting on the edge of a bridge and dreams of hidden treasure and dark deeds on the Spanish Main. He is awakened by a boat which passes under the bridge catching his feet and pulling him aboard the craft. The oarsman is highly indignant at Musty's unceremonious embarkation and lands him violently ashore. Musty is much impressed by his dream. He locates a spot which reminds him of the place where he buried a chest of gold in his dream and starts to dig for the hidden pieces of eight. He is interrupted by a cop, who arrests him. The cop calls the police patrol, a wheelbarrow affair, and Musty is trundled off to jail. Arraigned before the captain, he is given the third degree, but refuses to tell his secret. Finally, when confronted with a loaded cannon, Musty is alarmed by the sputtering of the fuse and tells his story. He is cast into a cell. Musty, like all model prisoners, awaits his opportunity to escape. He finds that his cot is very springy and by jumping on it succeeds in having himself hurled as if from a catapult through the roof. He makes himself a false mustache of grass and so passes the guard. He hurries to a costumer's for a disguise and after donning it hastens back to the place where he was digging in the street when arrested. No sooner has he started to dig when he is again arrested. He tries to get away, and cleverly induces his captors to get in the push patrol. Then he upsets it and runs, but collides with a telegraph pole, falls and is recaptured. In the station he breaks away from the cops again, hides by sitting on the captain's bench. He whacks the cops with the captain's gavel, placing them completely hors de combat, and once more is free. Musty goes back to the costumer's and rents a suit of armor, which he dons. No more is it upon his back, however, than his back begins to itch. What did King Arthur do in a case like this? We don't know, but the costumer found a way to relieve our hero. Musty then hurries back to his hole in the street, more determined than ever to find the hidden treasure. But, alas, that pestiferous copper is always on the job. Musty finds a way to get out of the armor without being seen and goes back to his digging. The copper, however, gets a great shock when the armor, in which he thinks Musty is still encased, suddenly comes to life and flees. After a long chase the officer regains possession of his cast steel captive and takes it to the station. Can openers, crowbars and other devices are employed to open the armor, but in vain. Finally one of the cops hits it with a sledge-hammer. It falls to pieces, revealing no one on the interior. Meanwhile Musty continues to dig. He breaks a water main and is caught in the deluge. This is the last straw and he gives up his treasure seeking in disgust.
