He rushes into the nearest store, a drug store, to spend his fortune. It happens the proprietor of the place had lost the money. Musty loses his fortune, but is rewarded with a job as soda jerker. Every customer gets violent pains after drinking Musty's soda water. It is discovered he has been using poison instead of vanilla extract.
