Broken Bubbles remains a monumental achievement to provide a definitive example of Hank Mann's stylistic genius.
A poor chap, with only fifty cents, hesitates whether to buy a meal with it or visit a fortune teller. He chooses the latter, and gazing into a crystal globe, he is told to follow the horses. He is then shown working around a racing stable, and, of course, rides the heroine's horse to victory. That night they decide to celebrate in a cabaret, where several amusing complications ensue. All this is revealed in the crystal ball and, waking up, Hank finds himself in the fortune teller's booth. Going out, he gazes longingly at the sign advertising meals for a half a dollar.
