He Jumps at the conclusion that his wife and the money have both been stolen. Uniquely clad in a frock coat, silk hat and a table cover, he enlists the aid of a couple of policemen, imploring them to find his money and his wife, but to find the money first. They find both at the same time, but when Mrs. Jimson declares that she has not the money, they decide to search her. Jimson interferes, knowing that the money is probably in her stocking. He talks her out of it, and tips the policemen, who goes away. Mrs. Jimson reaches for her spouses, but he calls the policemen back and sails away like an ocean liner."
