A Counterfeit Roll (1911)
Albert and Ethel are their names, and it happened one day that they left their respective clubs, forgetting their respective purses, and it happened also that they went for lunch to the same restaurant and happened to sit at the same table. When it came time to pay for their respective lunches they discovered that they had forgotten their respective purses. Each tried to explain to the proprietor, but he had been "stung" by that little story before, and he turned them over to the police. The scene now shifts to a saloon where Bob, a half-witted fellow, found a roll of greenbacks. He immediately decided to celebrate, but when he offered one of the bills to the bartender, that functionary declared it a counterfeit and handed poor Bob over to the police. Albert, Ethel and Bob were brought up for trial in the same batch and Bob, hearing that they had no money, offered his roll in payment of the restaurateur's claim, for which they thanked him and were released. A short time later the restaurant man discovered that he had been "done" again, this time with counterfeit money. The police went scurrying to find the two supposed crooks. They found Ethel in the act of buying a railroad ticket and just as they took her into custody, Albert arrived prepared for travel. Both were taken back to the station house. Bob was also there and explained how he had found the roll. Albert and Ethel called up their clubs and then everything was adjusted.
