He is raving up and down in front of his store, when two Irishmen get into an argument across the street and one of them throws a brick. Ike is hit in the back, which doesn't improve his temper, until he is seized by a bright idea. He calls his son, Sammy, and arming him with the brick sends him up the street to break some gentleman's hat. The scheme works. A tall silk hat is sacrificed, and the owner hurries to Ike's shop to buy a new one. Sammy doubles his ammunition, with a brick in either hand, proceeds far and wide to demolish headgear and to drive the trade into the parental establishment. There is such a thing as choosing one's victims sagaciously. When Sammy, who is not an infallible marksman, bricks a celebrated pugilist in the chest, his little game abruptly comes to a close. The prizefighter rounds him up in Ike's shop and by the time he gets through with the place, the hatter has decided that honesty is the best policy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
