To make matters worse he is not permitted to even see his sweetheart, her father having voiced the decision that he wants no penniless son-in-law. In seeking a way out of his precarious financial predicament Jerry gets himself into trouble with two policemen and his landlady. He succeeds in vanquishing the officers, but the landlady is more sturdy and knocks out poor Jerry. She leaves him on the floor, dead to the world, to answer the postman's ring. A letter arrives addressed to Jerry. Curiosity getting the better of her, the landlady steams open the envelope and is amazed to learn that Jerry is heir to three million dollars. Forgetting her past differences she returns to him and. being leap year, proposes. Jerry decides there is safety in flight and rushes out of the house, grabbing the letter as he speeds away. Alone and in safety he reads the letter and, overjoyed at the news, hurries to his sweetheart's home to tell her of his good fortune. The butler, who has been instructed by father not to admit him. attempts to bar his way, but Jerry pushes through the lines. The master of the house is called and armed with a revolver starts after the intruder. As he approaches Jerry seeks safety in a cabinet. Unknown to anyone a burglar is hiding in the clothes closet in the same room. He has locked the door and the father of the house naturally surmises that it is Jerry who is within. Father fires through the door, creating confusion in the household, of which Jerry is quick to take advantage as an opportunity of escape. He dashes out into the street and into the arms of the two policemen, the very two with whom he has previously had trouble. They take him back to the house, where they are met by astonished father with the burglar. One of the officers takes charge of the burglar and the other takes Jerry. While this is happening the landlady receives a telegram stating that the news of Jerry's riches is a mistake. Just as she finishes reading it the policeman comes up with Jerry, who is handed the telegram and so overcome that he faints away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
