Nolan is broke but does not despair. He finds a diamond pin that brings him $100, and with this as a start, after a strenuous week of high finance raises his capital to $17,095. Mignon's father is then compelled to live up to his agreement, but to make certain that all is well, he insists that Nolan buy his wife a $10,000 house. Nolan cleverly arranges it so that the old man must pay for the place, and when the bill collectors start coming around, Nolan must confess that the money he had shown the old man was borrowed capital and that he was in reality absolutely "broke." Thereupon Mignon's gouty parent, enraged at her husband, sets out to kill Nolan. Just at the critical time an attorney arrives on the scene with news of a legacy, and Nolan and Mignon are then on Easy Street. Written by
