April Fool's Laugh That Costs a Village Man His Fortune
Benjamin Top, a playful village trader near New York, schemes an April Fools prank on Dr. Scroggins by sending him to New York with a fake letter. The doctor misreads the ruse, lands a hospital post for himself, and later unravels the scheme, exposing Top as the loser when a final letter reveals the truth.
