Short summary

"Cheer up, old man." "Huh. What for? I've had so much 'cheer' in the last few years that, oh, what's the use?" To a man standing at one side, it sounded like the conversation of a few friends trying to help out one of the great, cruel world's "down and outs," and he turned to his neighbor to inquire what particular business or personal "punch" had put that good-looking but grouchy young chap on the "blue" list. "Who is this lad, who seems so unwilling to join the boys? Is he having a rough time of it?" "Who, that fellow? Well, hardly. That is Charlie Forbes, head of one of our best firms in town.

But this is not the case. Instead the plot goes over into the second reel, which gives us some more excellent scenes, including some fine views from the Singer Building in lower New York, and a ball game in Brooklyn. Then the hero has a curious vision and a lot of things happen. A live tiger attempts to interfere in his love chase, but of course it was not successful. A diverting comedy offering. - The Moving Picture World, February 15, 1913
