Nervy Nat is wise enough to pick Skeezicks' office when he plans a robbery. He forces Skeezicks to telephone to his home, "Send $5,000 down here right away." Sis is sent with the money. Of course she has to make a mistake and deliver it to Jack with word that it is "From Mister Skeezicks." Jack, overjoyed, rushes off to his brokers. Sis, however, has to turn back for the bag she has forgotten and this time she walks into the right office to find Skeezicks bound and gagged. Sis quickly chases Nervy Nat and then there is great hub-bub when Skeezicks learns that his five thousand has been given to someone else. Sis and Skeezicks arrive home to find Nervy Nat rifling the family safe. He is captured just before Jack arrives with the news that he has cleaned up a small fortune on his stocks and that Mr. Skeezicks must share the profits since his five thousand saved the day.
