Jack buys a beautiful lace shawl for the widow and leaves Sam hold it while he goes in for a drink. Bill meets Sam who tells him of the shawl and Jack's intentions. Jack induces Sam to give him the shawl and to fill the box with straw. Jack then gives the shawl to the widow. Bill than calls on the widow and gives her the box filled with the straw.
