Sweeney and the Million
Sweeney, a hod carrier, falls heir to a million, and proceeds to rake in all the cash that he and a corps of messenger boys can carry. He sees a taxicab and the chauffeur demands so much an hour. Sweeney buys the machine outright, and throws the ex-owner out. He and his wife race up and down the city and create a sensation by "loud" attire and equally "loud" eating in a swell café. They also give a ball that has some extraordinary dancing "stunts" on the part of the Sweeneys. As a finale, he goes to a fashionable "club" and is trimmed of spare cash and all his other property, real and personal, as the result of a rash bet across a revolving card table. He is thrown out and goes back to the hod next morning in his dress suit.
