Pokes has incurred the enmity of Jabbs by attempting to perform the wonderful mystic egg trick in Jabbs' new silk hat. Poor Pokes not knowing that his new sweetheart is the daughter of Jabbs, purloins from Mrs. Jabbs the new necklace that her husband has recently given to her. Pokes thinks only of re-establishing himself firmly in his sweetheart's affections and to further his suit, gives to Ethel the very necklace that he has stolen from her mother.
