He takes a great fancy to it on account of the convenience of the curved handle, which enables the umbrella to be hung on the arm. Wilson becomes engaged to Smith's daughter, Nellie. Not wishing her fiancé to get wet, Nellie loans her father's umbrella to him. Wilson buys a cigar and leaves the umbrella hanging on the cigar counter, from where it immediately is pilfered. Later, Smith notices that his umbrella is missing. Nellie tells of loaning it to her fiancé. Smith orders her to phone Wilson to return it at once. Wilson gets the message but cannot find the umbrella. He writes a notice, asking anyone who took an umbrella to return it to Room 16, and posts it at the hotel desk. Then, in order to humor his father-in-law, he goes to a jewelry store and buys an expensive umbrella. Smith, however, wants his "bargain" umbrella, and will not be pacified with the expensive gift. Wilson is in despair, but, upon returning to Room 16, a great pile of umbrellas greets his eyes, evidently left there by people with guilty consciences. He grabs the pile and once more goes to Smith's house. Smith easily picks out his "bargain" and all ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
