He suddenly realizes that all this money would enable him to become the "Broadway Sport" he's always wanted to be, so he goes for it. Complications ensue.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Hezekiah Dill, a clerk, works in the flour mill owned by the local power in finance, Hector Sweet. He spurns the affections of Violet Gaffney, a spinster typist, for a hopeless ambition to win the village belle, Sadie Sweet, the boss's daughter. When Dill ventures from the office Main Street turns up its nose at his thick lensed specs, his baggy clothes and awkward gait. The awe in which Dill is held is shown by the fact that two yeggs undertake to break the mill safe while he is working in the office. As they open the door Dill becomes unusually bold, pushes them into the vault and locks the door. After telephoning the boss, he spots a roll of money on the floor. As he stands clutching the roll of bills Dill's mind quits its humble station for New York. In the hotel where Dill stops is John D. Boulder, a wealthy old gent, who would like to make a will if he had any relatives to whom to leave his property. His lawyer undertakes to supply a few kin, and gets Dill to pose as a long-lost nephew. The will is made, the old gent dies. Dill gets his fortune and starts back home, forgetting his fifty-fifty understanding with the lawyer. When Dill returns home a wedding is in progress. Fearing it is his little Sadie, he rushes into the church, carries off the squirming bride-to-be and puts her in his auto. Then he lifts her veil and finds she is the spinster. Dill abandons the auto and flees. The arrival of his boss, Sadie and the constables interrupt Dill's dream. Half dazed, he still stands there grasping the roll of money. Little Sadie rushes up to him and throws her arms about his neck. Even Sweet praises his clerk's bravery as the constables drag the half-suffocated yeggs from the safe.
