One morning he inaugurates a big fashion show at the store. He has a splendid time draping the models. Harry Gribbon is the proprietor of the store, and he is "sweet on" Sam's wife. Harry McCoy, who is a slick crook, manages to substitute an imitation pearl necklace for a real one. The imitation goes to Gribbon, while the genuine is pawed by McCoy. Gribbon takes Minta, Sam's wife, out to lunch and gives her the pearls. She pawns them for $2 and give the ticket to Sam. He redeems the jewels, getting the genuine ones and turns them over to a model with whom he is infatuated. To square himself with his wife, Minta, the designer gives her a string of beads. McCoy, who has pawned the real jewels, redeems the phony ones by mistake. He is arrested. Sam has been drawn by the District Attorney to serve on the jury.
