Hard Luck Bill (1913)
Bill Jones is in arrears with Mrs. Swatt, his landlady, and she tells him to produce the money or leave. He borrows ten dollars from his next door neighbor, Tom. Bill sees the landlady enter with a stunning-looking girl and in order to make a hit helps himself to Tom's new suit of clothes. He manages to meet the young lady as she is leaving the house and invites her to luncheon. When he comes to pay for it, he discovers that he left the money in his own pockets. In the meantime, Mrs. Swatt, in a rage at not receiving her rent, throws Bill's clothes out the window and they are picked up by a tramp. Bill comes back for the money, finds his clothes gone and the landlady hales him to the police station. The girl is also taken to the station and a general mix-up ensues, which is settled by the appearance on the scene of the tramp with Bill's clothes and the ten-dollar bill.
