Nutt finds the hundred bill on the sidewalk and proceeds to spend it, but is unable to do so, as no one has change, that all insist on "chalking it up." Out with a pretty young heiress, Nutt was showing her a good time on the hundred he had found, just when things were coming along fine, all Nutt's creditors find change for the bill and besiege him for payment of their debts. After the young fortune has vanished, he still finds half his bills unpaid, and then, to help matters along, the owner of the hundred gets after him, too. They start condemnation proceedings on his person and divest him of watch, hat, coat, vest, etc., in payment of their debts. When Nutt spreads the glad tidings that Cornelia Van Asterfeller, the millionairess, had promised him her hand, they all become very apologetic and return his belongings. Written by
