Despite his gnawing hunger, Freddy is a true sport, and cannot resist taking a flyer on a 100 to 1 shot on the ponies, with the result that he goes flat broke. On his forlorn way home a longshoreman has a family row and slings a can of beans through the window, which hits Freddie on the head. Happy once more, Freddy picks up the can and hastens home to enjoy his unexpected feast. But a chorus girl who rooms across the way weeps and weeps until poor Freddy can stand it no longer, and, before partaking of the luscious beans, he shares them with her, with disastrous results to the beans. Then a friend visits him, and before Freddy can take a mouthful starts in on a long tale of the delicious meal he had the night before, meanwhile quietly spearing beans with a toothpick and eating all but one lone, solitary legume. Freddy shows him the door, then enjoys to the full that one little bean. Immediately afterward, McKann, a food expert, visits him, saying he must get up an article on beans right away. The stores are all closed and there is not a bean in the house. He offers the dazed Freddy ten dollars for one bean, and the poor lad collapses completely.
