Charlie hits on a scheme to evade them. He pretends to be dead when they call. The landlord calls and goes in to look at him. Charlie steals his watch. He also steals food from the butcher and the baker. They tear up their bills and sympathize with the beautiful widow. The landlord, to make sure of Charlie's death, sends for a doctor. The doctor diagnoses it as a case of suspended animation and decides to bleed Charlie. Charlie, seeing the instruments, decides that he is alive and beats the doctor into submission. The creditors arrive and hear the fight. Just at that moment, however, the postman gives Mrs. DeBroke a letter informing her that her husband has become heir to property and all ends well.
