He is sitting in the office worrying about last month's rent, when a prosperous stranger is ushered in. The stranger gives an order for ten thousand shares of General Munitions, preferred, and gives his check for ten thousand dollars to cover the margins. Harry is so overjoyed at the order that he does not take the precaution to ask the stranger who he is. He 'phones the order to another broker and gets the stock. Then he 'phones Rose to come down and get the coat. They celebrate the occasion, and next morning Harry goes to the office hoping that more prosperous strangers will come in. He is taken aback when the first visitor is a bank runner with the check marked "No funds." He starts to "flirt" with a nice nickel-plated revolver when he takes a look at the tape. "G.M." is going up by quarters and halves and then some. Harry does not know how to conceal his joy. But in walks the prosperous stranger with a demand for his stock and a check to cover the entire amount. Harry shows him the other check and the stranger explains that he forgot that he no longer had an account there and offers to go over to the bank and get the larger check certified. It looks very much as if Harry would have to be satisfied with a buying commission only, when in walked a couple of huskies who grab the stranger and explain that he is an escaped lunatic with a penchant for playing the market. Clearly the stock is Harry's and he takes down a handsome profit. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
