Aladdin Up to Date (1917)
James Wilbur Scovill has a mine, but no capital with which to operate it. He comes east in search of backing, but finds that capital doesn't grow on trees. Soon the miner is among the city's down-and-outers. Then Scovill learns of a capitalist willing to listen to argument. Without clothes, however, he realizes he has little chance to impress a rich man. Ne returns to his room in despair, and, lo and behold! there is a complete outfit of high-priced clothing awaiting him. Scovill puts over the deal and immediately is arrested, charged with passing bogus checks on clothiers. It happens, though, that a youth is run down by a motor car, and makes a dying confession that he is a swindler who had passed the bogus checks.
