Mrs Walsingham’s jeweled butterfly goes missing after a royal buzz and a staged paste tale. Scotland Yard man Sawder recovers most of the loot from Sleepy Jim’s hidey hole, but vanishes with the colonel’s fur coat and the tale ends with the rogue’s escape and the husband’s new view of criminals.
A man with a large hat enters a Sixth Avenue barbershop, demands a silent shave with a pistol at his side. He is served quickly, then jokes to the cashier that it keeps the barber quiet. The barber cannot speak or hear, as he is deaf and dumb.
