They show this to the young man, and the aunt makes the stipulation that if he is able to find the original toe from which the imprint was made within a week, that he will be allowed $10,000 a year. Jerry is delighted, and at once comes to the conclusion that it is the secretary to his aunt who has the scar. But he soon learns to the contrary when he receives an imprint of the young lady's toe from the maid. The next morning he discovers two charming young girls with his aunt, and still conjecturing that the owner of the scarred toe must be one of his aunt's friends, he follows one of the young ladies to a chiropodist where, after a great deal of trouble, he manages to get an imprint of the young lady's toe. Again he is disappointed. The next morning he follows the other young girl to a shoe store, where he pretends to be a clerk. After tearing a hole in the young girl's stocking and getting an imprint of the toe, he sees that he has again failed. He tries to get imprints of the toes of the three other young ladies at his aunt's house, but each time meets with a failure and gets hurt himself. It is Saturday morning and Jerry's time is drawing to a close; but just at the last minute of the eleventh hour, Jane, pretending that her foot is asleep. Asks Jerry to rub it for her. He does and in so doing learns that she is the owner of the scarred toe. They make a beeline to the aunt's house. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
