On the way he passes the Giuseppe Bank, and is accosted by Lorenzo, the banker, to deposit his money with him, so that someday Pietro might be able to return to sunny Italy. Pietro arrives at his home, tells his wife about the banker and she consents to his depositing their savings. Some time later, Pietro, having saved six hundred and seventy-five dollars, calls at the bank, only to discover that there is a run on same. The now almost maddened Italian calls at the home of the banker, and finding that gentleman out. sits at his desk and writes a note, asking for the return of his money. Pietro accidentally turns over an ink-well. In his excitement, Pietro wipes his ink-blackened hand on the curtain, the blotter on the desk, and on some stationery. Lorenzo returns, and thinking that the black hand is after him, returns the money to the Italian and to the rest of the depositors of the bank. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
