Nell picks it up, and a friend in an auto drives up and greets her, so that Jim, retracing his steps to find the billfold, misses her. She leaves a card, but with no address, and Jim, returning, begins his search for the girl with the billfold. Nell, reporting the incident at home, deposits the money on a table, and a fire in a nearby house attracts her attention. Tommy, entering to deliver a hat, finds the house empty, and in "rubbernecking" sees the billfold. Hearing someone, he steps behind the portieres and Muggs makes a getaway with the billfold. Tommy's story is not believed by the police and he's arrested. Jim, reporting his loss, arrives at the station in time of Tommy's arrest, believes his innocence, and bails him out. Delivering a hat later, Tommy recognizes Muggs and the billfold and reports to Jim, who in the meantime through the court incident has met Nell and a love affair springs up. Tommy leads the cops to Muggs and doesn't let himself be bribed, to remain honest, although Jim was the loser, he was a winner with Nell. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
