Suckers Fall for Pulp Ads and Old Cash Schemes
A burlesque recounts a gullible man who follows a string of scam ads promising easy riches. He spends small sums on bogus schemes and letters, hoping to get rich, only to be further misled. The piece parodies mid era street marketing and a rabid appetite for quick fortune.
