Rufus and Blackie Daw use still another method to lay their talons on the bank account of P.S. Hutch, a shyster lawyer who has embezzled $120,000 from a man answering to the name of Lundy and whose home town is Berne, Switzerland. Lundy is the owner of American properties and has appointed Hutch his attorney. To live up to his reputation as a shyster, he confiscates them. Hutch did another crooked deed; he helped swindle the father of Violet and Fanny Warden and now has Wallingford and Daw on his trail. They make the acquaintance of Hutch, and for a whole week they pump him in vain. Unable to glean anything in the wake of his dirty shoes, they decide on Daw as a souse and a call on Hutch at his office at the time that he usually goes to the bank. Wallingford accompanies him while Daw does a Rip Van Winkle on the couch until they get clear of the room, then he gets the information he wants and gets back to the couch not a minute too soon. They rent a "Spirit Parlor" for a day and cleverly get Hutch to call rather hastily, and leave quicker. Wallingford and Daw call at Hutch's office a little later, planning a trip to South America, but Hutch refuses to go along until he again sees the Lundy spirit out for an airing; then and not till then does he do a double-quick for the bank and the remainder of the embezzled money. They have a little difficulty in getting the coin when he fetches it from the bank, but let it suffice that they get it. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
