They are very angry and determined to be revenged. They find that the rag man has left his bag outside of a gate. They take the bag to a freight yard, where they decide that the smaller of the two shall get into the bag and cover himself with rags while the larger tramp will take the bag to a junkman and sell it. Then when the opportunity offers the little fellow is to cut the bag with a knife and escape. All goes well and the bag is accordingly sold and the big tramp forgetting his companion goes into a saloon to enjoy himself. In the meantime the rag man has come out of the gate, and, seeing that his bag is gone, starts in pursuit. He proceeds to the junk yard, where the bag with the little tramp inside is still on the scales. When the rag man questions the junk man the bag starts to move. They become alarmed and start to kick the bag along the street. The bag is later opened and the tramp captured. Written by
