- The Bachelor Club had announced a poker tournament. The cleverest player to receive a gold cup, and as a result the four chums repaired to Smith's for practice, each player bent upon winning the first prize. Here, being unable to find the poker chips, the men pooled enough money to go around, intending it to be returned as soon as the game was finished. This, however. Smith's uncle, the parson, absolutely refused to believe. But it was not until his old friend, John Kirby, captain of police, called upon him, that the parson conceived the idea of teaching the young men a good lesson. Smilingly the captain fell in with his plan, and at once sent Officer Casey a note advising him to raid the Smith home that night, as a joke. But unfortunately for their little joke, the letter dropped from Casey's pocket and was picked up by Slippery Sam. Hurrying to his attic, the crook quickly donned a policeman's uniform and made a flying call upon the players, commanding them to place their money in a bag. No sooner had Sam reached his room than the boys' cheerfulness in performing this trifling service for him was plain. The bag contained only stage money, used by the party that night, because the chips were misplaced. The parson, much to the amusement of the boys, was explaining that he had caused the raid when Officer Casey appears, and believing that the old gentleman had made him the target for a practical joke, he seized the parson by the collar and hustled him off to the police station.—Moving Picture World synopsis
