By the time Pokes appears in the barroom and proceeds not only to eat all the free lunch, but even to get away with a cigar and leaves nothing in the line of cash behind him. Jabbs is willing to believe that perhaps the Black Hand is really after him. After Pokes' meeting Robin on the street and purloining a watermelon from him he seeks refuge in Jabbs' saloon, sampling everything in sight. When Jabbs finally returns to the café with police and Pokes is having the time of his life. When the police order Pokes to come outside he threatens them with the watermelon and the police, believing that it is a bomb, open fire on him with their revolvers. The bullets hit the beer kegs behind which Pokes is hiding, with the result that the entire place is wrecked and both Pokes and Jabbs are deluged with the streams pouring out of the kegs.
