Rogers, an inventive cyclist, tests a self styled nonslipping tire on a light aluminium bicycle. He rides at dusk through three forked roads near Saddlesbury but faces rain and darkness with an empty lamp. He seeks shelter under trees, pauses to light a pipe, and contemplates fate as night deepens.
Rogers, tired and soaked, seeks shelter at a country house and is fed by two burglars. The master discovers the trio and the two burglars, with the help of police, are captured after Rogers spots their tracks and proves his autograph bicycle’s value. The thefts are thwarted as Rogers uses his clever tire branding to trace the culprits.
