Gink condemns all laundries and the one which undertakes to ruin his underwear in particular. He looks at the bill. Five dollars odd, simply outrageous. Something must be done. Gink sees a circular in the window of a general store: "Great Sale of Pott's Celebrated Automatic Laundry. You turn the crank, the machine does the rest."

Gink tears down the curtains from the windows and the sheets from the beds, and secures an assortment of shirts and things which would delight the heart of any Chinese laundry gentleman.
