This film opens by showing the interior of a poor man’s cottage. He is sitting down by his wife, and they are penniless. We next see them in a barroom asking for money, which they are refused. They return home. The agent now appears and tells them that they will have to leave unless they can put up money enough for the rent. The agent leaves. In the meanwhile the husband thinks of a scheme. His wife gives him some powder and he places same on his face. He then jumps into bed, and his wife kneeling down beside him cries, when in comes the proprietor. The sight of the dying man has no effect upon his hard heart, when with lightning speed the dying man jumps out of bed onto the hardhearted proprietor, and frightens him out of the house. He kisses his wife, and so the film ends.
