In the office he is grouchy because his work keeps him after the regular hour and on the way home he has several altercations with passersby. As he comes up to his own house he finds that the gate, long needing attention, has fallen from its hinges and a loose board in the piazza floor flies up and hits him in the face after which he stumbles over a milk bottle carelessly left on the floor. Mad clear through, he enters to find that dinner is not yet ready and Mrs. Jinks explains that she's had trouble with the stove because the chimney needs to be repaired. Jinks storms and stamps, bringing down a part of the ceiling. To relieve his feelings he kicks at the cat with such violence he sustains another tumble. The next morning he is advised that he is the heir to his uncle's fortune and gives up his position. He buys an automobile and telegraphs his wife to burn down the house when she sees him coming in the car as he will build a new one. A telegram announces that a new will has been found cutting him off and Jinks, who has spent all his money celebrating, starts home afoot. He is run down by an automobile and taken home. His wife follows his instructions too literally and he is grouched out of a home and into his old job. Written by Lubin Manufacturing Co. Release Book See less
