The usually impecunious Louie tries to look unconcerned with money sticking out of his every pocket. Heinie tries to get in "touch" with Louie, but the modern Monte Cristo learned his English in a different school. All Louie will lend is his ear, which Heinie proceeds to fill with questions, the burden of which is, "Where did you get it? What are you going to do with it?" To which Louie answers, "I made idt. It looks real, nichtwahr? I vas going tzoon to haf gwide a bull vith efer tzo much beoples. Chust tdo. your pest tdo look your voorst und ve can poth pe bainless, nein?" Heinie agrees to try, and Louie exchanges his counterfeit cash for a dental parlor. Business starts with a toothsome flapper who's had a dog's life of it with her canines. Louie thinks some gas will make his job lighter, and proceeds to turn it on. He's no piker, this Louie, and soon has the flapper effectually asleep. But the gas, tired of its cramped life and desirous of escaping, blows the top out of its container, and playfully does some denting on its own account. The former proprietor discovers Louie's money is homemade and comes back to get it changed. On the way, he falls in with a squad of police, and together they make for the parlor, where, with the young flapper's sweetheart they start to "treat" the gasmen in the good old painful way. The cops suggest a lead filling, but Heinie and Louie, remembering the gas, make good their escape. Written by
