He places the money in his pocket, but before he gets out of bed the following morning his wife sends the suit to the cleaner's. When Bud finds that the money has gone with it, he hastens to recover the suit. He finds the tailor shop closed, however, and tries to break in. He is arrested and about to be taken to jail, when the tailor appears and Bud gets his money, but too late to bet. He returns home and replaces the stolen money. And just in time, because his wife, suspecting that he has stolen it, looks in the hiding-place. Finding the money in the accustomed place she repents of her "unjust" suspicions and gives it all, to Bud. To cap the climax, Bud learns that his "sure thing" has lost.
