A Money? (1912)
Cal and Billy, two young chaps, turn over their money to their friend Steppling for safe keeping, and he promises to allow them a certain amount each day. Next day the two boys meet some charming girls and, not having enough money to entertain them, hurry home and beg Steppling to let them have some on account. He refuses and goes to sleep while they rave. Seeing his clothes on the chair they hit on a scheme, hurry to a pawn shop and pawn the clothes for a couple of dollars. Steppling awakens, finds his clothes gone, and is horrified. Securing a suit much too small for him, he takes some old suits of clothes belonging to the boys and pawns them to get money. This, in his excitement, he drops on the sidewalk. Reaching home he meets the boys, who laughingly tell him about pawning his clothes, then are dumbfounded when Steppling frantically explains that their money was sewed in the lining of his coat. Immediately the boys rush to the pawn shop, but find the suit has been purchased by an unknown party. Returning home they are further knocked out to find that Steppling has also lost the money he got for the pawned clothes. Meanwhile, the man who bought Steppling's suit discards it on reaching home, and it is thrown out on the ash heap. A tramp finds it, puts it on, and applies at the house, where Cal, Billy and Steppling are doing menial house work to get some money. They instantly recognize the clothes, and the poor tramp is put through a strenuous ordeal as they pull the togs from him and triumphantly wave the recovered money as they kick him out the door.
