The Tramp on the Park Bench
A Christmas charity gathering by a Philanthropists' club in New York unfolds when club members inflate a tale of a park tramp. Reynolds and others recount similar stories, each donating five dollars, until a mystery man is unmasked as a member in disguise. The tale ends with an artist confessing to deception and advertising Arkora Tablets.
