The single stipulation is that you are prosperous. This letter is the only identification required." Fortune came the tramp's way for right at the start he managed to annex a large fur-lined overcoat. This covered his shabbiness and induce a simple-minded clerk to trust him for a pair of shoes. In a barber shop his gorgeous coat hid his ragged clothes and he got a shave, haircut, massage, manicure, shoe shine, and cigar without being called upon to pay in advance. On his way out he annexed the collar and tie of the man in the next chair, lifted the same unfortunate's silk hat from the rack and even had the nerve to borrow his victim's auto for a getaway. Being thoroughly dressed "prosperous" he sauntered around to the lawyer whose address appeared upon the letter. The lawyer was the man who had lost the silk hat, collar and auto. He recognized his hat and under a plea of taking Weary to his inheritance leads him to the police station. There the tramp meets the other man who was swindled. The tramp was led to a cell, followed by his "creditors." One by one they returned each carrying an article of Weary's raiment. As the last one filed out, the doorman came from the back room and approached his superior. "Say, boss," he remarked languidly, "that new guy is chirping about an inheritance that's due him. Shall I send him down to this foolish ward at Bellevue?" The Lieutenant laughed and from his desk picked up the letter. He turned over the second page and called the doorman's attention to it. "He forgot to read the second page," exclaimed the Lieutenant, "This isn't a letter about property. It's just a cleaver that lawyer got up. If you don't turn over the page and read that it's an ad you may get fooled." The Lieutenant then added, "That guy wants his inheritance," he chuckled, "Give him my compliments and tell him his inheritance will be either three or six months, depending upon how the Judge enjoyed his breakfast." This made Weary Willie's bones tremble, and he cursed the day that he tried to be prosperous. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
