Upon arriving at the door he thinks it best to remove his shoes, which he does. Then, after drinking the water from the flower vase, and trying for some time to open the door with a cigar while he has the key in his mouth, he succeeds in getting the door open. He is about to enter the house when he thinks that he had better hide his bank roll, which he puts safely in one of the shoes. He decides to go to bed, and unconsciously picks up a flower pot instead of the shoes. He retires, leaving the shoes with the money on the front porch. About five minutes after Bob has gone upstairs, Weary Willie, a hobo, happens along, sees the shoes and no one in sight, puts them under his coat and goes away. He finds a quiet spot and sits down to put on the new shoes. They are a little tight but he gets them on and starts off again. But the money stuffed in the toe of one of the shoes makes it so uncomfortable that he cannot stand the pain, so he takes them off and walks back to the place, and after putting on the old shoes, starts out to dispose of the new ones. He meets Sleepy Sam, who is busily engaged devouring a lunch. Weary makes a trade of the shoes for a sandwich and goes on his way. Sam picks up the shoes and starts on his way. Happening to pass Bob's house, where by this time the maid is sweeping the sidewalk, and the baker, having just delivered the morning rolls, Sam asks her for one. She gives him a roll and recognizes her master's shoes. Sam at the same time sees a cop on the comer, drops them and takes to his heels. About this time Bob has awakened, and, in searching for the shoes, he comes out of the house and sees them in the maid's hand. He feels for the money and finds it safe. He is so overjoyed he rewards everybody and starts to kiss the maid when his wife catches him and she, with the maid, gives him a good beating. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
