He comes east in search of backing, but finds that capital doesn't grow on trees. Soon the miner is among the city's down-and-outers. Then Scovill learns of a capitalist willing to listen to argument. Without clothes, however, he realizes he has little chance to impress a rich man. Ne returns to his room in despair, and, lo and behold! there is a complete outfit of high-priced clothing awaiting him. Scovill puts over the deal and immediately is arrested, charged with passing bogus checks on clothiers. It happens, though, that a youth is run down by a motor car, and makes a dying confession that he is a swindler who had passed the bogus checks. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
