As they land on the sidewalk they are confronted by a fat wallet that someone has lost. They flirt with it lovingly and pinch themselves to see if they are awake while a passerby picks it up and pockets a fortune. Dividing their last cigarette, they lack a match. Puffy decides to get one from a fellow who is delivering a bottle of something to a front door. He taps him on the shoulder. The man flees and the owner of the house drops a lot of money in Puffy's outstretched hand. They go to the lunch counter of beautiful Theda O'Reilly, built on a construction elevator, and are so amored of the angelic waitress that they do not see themselves going up and down. A bull beaked street cleaner elbows up and talks rough to the angel. Puffy and the runt, becoming indignant offer fight. She introduces him as her husband. The runt tips his hat and walks nonchalantly off the platform while the elevator is sky high. He falls into a vat of plaster, followed by Puffy. The elevator comes down and the street cleaner is still bawling out the charmer, who seems to like it, Puffy and the runt walk away dejectedly, deciding that there ain't no Santa Claus.
