In the saloon they meet another mutual friend and while talking, Parks' sample grip is knocked from the bar unknown to anyone. Pat, an Irish foreman, comes in for a can of beer and unconsciously kicks the grip into the street, where Spunky Jim, a tough, finds it, and carries it off. Parks, about this time discovers the loss and starts on the hunt. Spunky cannot get the grip open; after trying for some little time. He, however, gets an idea, and immediately puts it into execution. Taking the grip, he accosts a bold son of Erin's isle, and bets him that he cannot carry the grip across the street and back again without setting it down. The Irishman accepts the wager, and taking the grip, after putting up his money, starts across the street. When he comes back he sets the grip on the ground, and consequently, not seeing the trick in the bet, loses. He thinks the joke is so good that he persuades Spunky to leave the grip with him, which Spunky does. The Irishman proceeds to the German bakery and plays the same joke and bet on the unthinking German. The German, anxious to get even, suggests that they play it on the Jew, Levi. They accost Levi in front of his store and the bet is made, each one wagering heavily. Levi takes the grip and crosses the street. On the opposite side he sees a silver dollar on the sidewalk, and stooping to pick it up, the watchful German and Irishman think he will set the grip down, but they are disappointed, as he puts the grip under his arm. When he returns to the spot where they are waiting, he, much to their dismay, hangs the grip on a nail. About this time, Parks, who has searched everywhere for his grip, comes in sight, and seeing the grip on the nail in front of Levi's, rushes up and demands to know who owns the grip. The German and the Irishman, beaten at their own game, thinking to get the Jew into trouble, point to Levi. Parks says the grip is his and Levi returns it to him. Parks opens the grip and they all see that it is filled with jewelry. The Irishman and German are overcome, and for Levi's honesty. Parks rewards him with a roll of money, thus proving that honesty is the best of policy, especially for Lucky Levi. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
