Who Got the Reward (1912)

His wife gives him her necklace to have it fixed. On the way down town he stops in at the club and plays the wheel, losing all his ready money. Believing his luck will change, he pledges the necklace for $50, and loses that. To square himself, he buys an imitation to give her until he can redeem the real one. How he is to get the money he doesn't know, as their bank account is a joint one and checks require both signatures. Meanwhile, Mrs. E. orders a fifty dollar hat, and she is in just as great a quandary when he refuses to pay for it. Well, the wife evolves a plan, and while it doesn't work out as she expected, still it results in her getting the hat and his redeeming the necklace.
