He tries hanging himself to his chandelier, but the flimsy contraption pulls out, and he lands upon the floor. He goes to the lake and is preparing to drown himself when a peddler offers to buy his body. Henry signs up with him for $20, and delivery at 5:15 p. m., and goes to Flossie's apartment to tell her of the misery she had caused, followed by the peddler. "But Henry, dear, I was just rehearsing my new play," she explains. Henry makes a break for the window, and Flossie holds up the peddler. A telegram arrives, and Flossie open it. "Uncle dead. Leaves you a million." The peddler snatches the wire and volunteers to break the news to Henry and collect his twenty. Henry thinks the man is after him and doubles back to Flossie, and from her he learns the truth. As soon as the dealer arrives, Henry concludes a little arrangement with him.
