She is told she will have to get along without a new coat this winter. Mrs. Warrington decides to draw some money from the bank and purchase a new coat. This she does. She buys a beautiful coat for $125. To replace some of the money she has drawn from the bank, she tells Mr. Warrington that she found a pawn ticket and would like him to redeem the article. He puts it in his pocket among a lot of business papers. That afternoon Warrington meets a friend of his on the street and, pulling out some papers to show him, accidentally drops the ticket. A tramp finds if. This same tramp asks Jim Murehead, a pedestrian, for a match. Murehead gives him the desired phosphorus and discovers the tramp has a pawn ticket in his hand. This he buys. Murehead then goes to the pawn shop and gets the coat. He takes it to his sweetheart, a stenographer in Mr. Warrington's office. She is pleased beyond words. Mr. Warrington returns to his home that evening and explains to his wife that he lost the ticket. She becomes furious. He goes to the office. Mrs. Warrington arrives at the office and is told by the stenographer that she will have to wait if she wants to see her husband. The stenographer leaves the room. During her absence, Mrs. Warrington discovers a box on the table and recognizes it immediately as being one that her coat was in.
