He receives a letter and, not having his spectacles, has his niece read its contents. Some one threatens to beat him up for being a "woman chaser.'' Max is frightened. A bum comes to see him, but his niece says her uncle left for Europe - to be gone five years. Dick arrives and is told that the niece can't marry him, so he decides to kill himself and rushes to the drug store for poison. Max is getting drunk and very flirtatious. Terrified at Dick's threat, his girl takes the bottle to tell Max about it. She hides the poison, after tearing off the label and goes back to Dick. Max discovers the bottle and takes a drink, which causes him to cough. The niece rushes out. Seeing the bottle, she yells that Max has drunk poison. Dick is dumbfounded. Max rushes out, partially dressed. He snatches a bottle of milk from a wagon, but the milkman gives chase. A crowd carries Max to a doctor's house, where the doctor prepares to use the stomach pump. But the drug clerk rushes in to tell them that he gave Dick the wrong stuff - ipecac instead of poison. Written by Moving Picture World, September 15, 1917 See less
