The editor of the Sag-Harbor Bee exchanges banter with an unemployed man who wishes to place an ad for work. They're interrupted by a bill collector who demands Fred either pay for the coat and vest he bought on installment or return them now. Being broke, he takes them off and hands them over. The same collector returns demanding payment for the pants Fred's wearing. After removing his trousers, he emerges from behind a screen holding an open umbrella to hide his underwear.

An Amateur Devil Synopsis

Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
