Summary
  • Thimble Theatre: Castor and Ham are making plans to rob a store. They need a get-away, like a store with a horse standing in front of it. They see a store with a horse in front of it so they go in the back door and rob the harness shop. They get $10 and run out the front door and jump on the horse. The horse doesn't move. The owner comes out laughing. It is a wood horse advertising the saddle that it has on its back.
  • Sappo: Myrtle tells John he had a great idea with the chair he invented. The chair tilts back and the change falls out of the pockets of the people in the chair. At the bottom of the back of the chair is a tray you can pull out. The money falls into the tray. John shows Myrtle how it works and while he is sitting in the chair she pulls the tray out from the back and collects the change he dropped.
