Henry Mason was a tightwad - so named by his better half. And so disgusted was she with his repeated refusals to obey the formalities of the tipping system that when she is invited to accompany him on a business trip to New York she refuses. A bright idea strikes Henry, which is the reason for his fearless declaration that if she will only consent he will squander a million quarters. The trip is taken and Polly is delighted with the change that has come over Henry, who has become abnormally generous with his tips. The illusion is dispelled, however, and Henry is forever disgraced when, on his return home, the cabby gives away the secret of the distribution of a number of German coins which Henry had taken the opportunity to get rid of.
