A Boob for Luck (1915)
When his uncle Hiram forbids Jed to marry Mary, Jed determines to leave the farm and make his fortune in the city. At the same time Hiram receives a message from two confidence men offering some nice green goods for sale. Jed makes his home in a boarding house. One of the boarders, a fortune teller, informs the boy that he is to come into a fortune. Inspired, Jed goes forth in search of a job. Jobs, however, seem hard to get. Hiram arrives in the city with a $5,000 bankroll. Hoyle and Casey, the confidence men, meet him and soon annex his money. Meanwhile, Jed is waylaid by highwaymen. After sandbagging the boy, the men throw him into an alleyway. Hiram discovers he has been swindled and goes in pursuit of the crooks. Threatened with capture, the men throw Hiram's roll into an alleyway. Jed is just recovering consciousness when the thieves pass. The money falls into his hat. After staring unbelievingly at the roll, Jed rushes to a clothing store and gets a new outfit. Back to the farm he goes. When Hiram, compelled to walk home, finally arrives he learns of Jed's luck. The sight of Jed's money overcomes the uncle's objections, and he consents to let Mary and his nephew wed.
