Knowing that his wife has a horror of firearms, he hides the money in the barrel of his shotgun. The new safety deposit scheme is a good one, for Mrs. T is unable to command the courage necessary for her to remove the money from the gun. Tightwad sleeps on, peacefully, sure of the safety of the bankroll, until his slumbers are disturbed by the howling of a stray dog under his window. Tightwad arises in his wrath, and various missiles are thrown at the dog without effect. Tightwad gets the shotgun and turns loose both barrels at the dog with good results. Tightwad's triumph is short-lived, for his wife, awakened by the report of the gun, reminds him that his money has been blown out of the weapon, and that at last Tightwad has blown himself, and a dog, too.
