Summary
A cunning swindler's audacious attempt to infiltrate the pearly gates is met with swift rejection, courtesy of St. Peter, and a subsequent, unceremonious expulsion from the heavenly realm. His trajectory, now decidedly earthbound, intersects with a canine companion, equally adept at extricating himself from precarious situations, having been incarcerated for the theft of bones. This unlikely duo orchestrates a daring escape from prison, only to discover that the swindler has inherited a substantial fortune from a recently deceased uncle. However, the money is cleverly concealed within the lining of a checked suit, which, in a moment of unguarded haste, is discarded out of a window. The narrative unfolds as a frantic pursuit of various checked suits, driven by the desperation to reclaim the lost inheritance, culminating in the dog's triumphant retrieval of the correct suit, thereby restoring the swindler's fortune.
Synopsis
A swindler applies for a place in heaven. He is rejected by St. Peter and hurled to earth in very human style by one of the archangels. His real home, it proves, is in jail. With the aid of a dog, who is in for stealing bones, he makes his escape from prison, thereupon learning that he has fallen heir to a vast sum of money left by his uncle. The money is concealed in the lining of a checked suit which he unwittingly throws out of the window. The rest of the picture shows how he pursues various checked suits in an attempt to get the right one and how finally the dog brings it home.
