Placing his umbrella on the writing-shelf, he draws a goodly amount of cash and walks away, forgetting his rain protector. Outside it is raining and he hastily returns to get it. Not finding it, he comes to the conclusion it has been stolen. He meets several friends, an old gentleman comes along with an umbrella resembling Bunny's, and Bunny and his friends go after him. The old fellow gets on a passing streetcar. Bunny and his friends call a taxi. When the taxi catches up to the car, an open one, Bunny tries to snatch the umbrella. The car stops. A policeman takes the old gent to court. The judge discovers a small tag attached to the umbrella bearing the name of Smith, which convinces Bunny he has made a mistake. He is fined $10.00 for disturbing the peace. He engages a detective, who happens to be a bogus one, and Bunny is obliged to hand over another bunch of coin. This about cleans him out, and he goes to the bank to draw some more money and finds his umbrella lying on the floor underneath the shelf. He feels rather foolish, but this is nothing to the feeling he has when he gets home and is served with a complaint and summons from the old gentleman for false arrest and claiming $5,000.00 damages.
