He has time to make the train but needs a shave, so on his way to the depot he stops into a barber shop. A customer has just taken the only vacant chair and Jinks offers to pay his bill if he will surrender his turn. The man agrees and Jinks gets a hasty shave, leaves his card with the barber and hurries to the depot. His hat blows off and he chases it for several blocks. So does a tramp, who throws his own battered derby away and chases Jinks's hat. The tramp wins the race and captures the hat, so Jinks is obliged to wear the battered misfit hat abandoned by the tramp. After many mishaps Jinks arrives at the depot just in time to miss the train and sinks on a bench exhausted. In the meantime business is very brisk in the barber shop, for the man who gave up his turn has his hair dyed and curled, his face massaged and in fact keeps the barber going at full speed until the bill amounts to six dollars. The barber gets on Jinks's trail with the bill and finds him at the depot down and out. He explores Jinks's pockets and finding he has just ten cents more than the amount of the bill he receipts the bill, keeps the ten cents for a tip and leaves Jinks to recover.
