Unable to withstand the pangs of hunger, Jeff goes out to waylay a friend of his and make a touch. He keeps watch and supports himself by leaning against a saloon door. The "barkeep" receives the tip that fly-cops are watching his place, and tells the bartender to slip some mazuma to the first fly-cop he sees. Jeff is seen first and gathers a crisp ten-dollar bill, with which he starts for "home." The saloon proprietor, believing himself safe from the police, allows the boys to gamble openly. A police inspector comes on the scene, and after some excitingly funny stunts, departs with everybody's cash. Mutt is anxious to make some easy money, so he repairs to the saloon and does the leaning act. The "boss" spies him. Ha! Here's another pesky fly-cop. Let us fix him up! Unsuspecting Mutt is invited to enter the liquid emporium and have a drink, a sort of an appetite tickler. He boldly enters the trap; the "bunch" fall on him and it's "good-night" for poor Mutt. The best that Jeff can do is to visit the hospital where his partner is temporarily domiciled and take some flowers to the unfortunate fellow. The best that Mutt can do is to eat the flowers, which act he performs with lightning rapidity. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
