Itsky is right on the job and sketches out an invention which proves him to be a veritable genius. It is a long board arranged like a table, rigged up with pulleys, ropes and a lever near Bumptious' desk, which raises one end and slides whatever is on the board out of the window. A book agent is the first victim, and when he carelessly places his books on the shelf Bumptious pulls the lever and the books slide out the window onto the head of a masher. His antics draw a crowd under the window, and when the apple woman comes in to pester Bumptious he pulls the lever and the basket of apples bumps onto the heads of the people below. The same thing happens with a statue peddler. But Mr. Bumptious' cashier brings in the weekly payroll and lays it on the board, then accidentally hits the lever, resulting in a shower of greenbacks outside. Bumptious is wild, but his rich uncle, overwhelmed by his nephew's apparent largess, rushes in and forces a large check upon him in appreciation. Then everybody's happy.
