In this silent comedy, a lonely male BUM stations himself on a street corner begging people for money. He plops himself down, scribbles a sorrowful description on his cut out cardboard sign, and waits for the spare change. While doing this, he notices another BUM on the other side of the street doing the same exact thing. The two bums battle it out using different cardboard signs to attract the passerby in hopes of securing their place on the busy street corner. Only one will win! Only one will have to leave!
