The Evidence of the Film

The only known copy of this film was rediscovered in 1999 on the floor of the projection booth in a Superior, Montana movie theater.

The broker plans to have his office staff witness him placing the bonds into an envelope and give it to the messenger boy to deliver to his client.

Next, the broker follows the boy, knocks him down "by accident," and switches the original envelope with another filled with newspaper scraps.

The broker successfully pulls off his scheme, however, his collision with the messenger occurs in front of a film crew shooting a scene on the streets.

The sister delivers the film to the authorities, who arrest the broker and free the messenger boy.
