An impecunious party wearing a coat which has seen better days notices a dummy in front of a second-hand clothing store wearing a coat which he believes will fit him. He promptly slips off his old coat and substitutes it for the new one, making away with all speed and thinking his ruse has been successful. Not so, however, the eagle eye of the Hebrew proprietor is on the alert and the cry of thief is quickly raised. Our friend starts up the street hot foot with little Jerusalem following, and then all kinds of things happen and the funniest chase occurs that has ever been seen in a moving picture, producing some extraordinary comic results, which must be seen to be appreciated.
