his companion not to get excited, to be still. The cabin's plight is so delicate that a cough jolts it. There is frantic comedy as the two clamber over each other in the effort to escape. Charlie slides out the door again; Jim reaches the top only to be slammed back by the door. Finally Jim, climbing over Charlie, reaches safety and simultaneously finds his claim. Charlie is then pulled up by a rope just as the anchor breaks and the cabin plunges into the chasm. As the men embrace, Charlie "faints."
We next find Charlie and Jim on a ship returning home to the States. They are now millionaires with fur coats and toppers to show it. Still unaccustomed to fortune, however, Charlie stoops for a cigar butt, to be scolded by Jim and supplied from a gold case. Reporters swarm around them for interviews for which Charlie poses with top hat held to one side. In their de luxe cabin, Charlie peels off two fur coats while Jim has his calluses treated by a manicure girl.
To Charlie, however, wealth does not bring happiness as he gazes wistfully at Georgia's picture. She was gone when he returned for her. Actually Georgia is on the steerage deck below. There she hears an officer speak of a search for a stowaway.
For a reporter's human interest story, Charlie puts on his tramp's outfit; and there is comic business directed at Jim with the big shoes and cane. Posing for a camera, he steps back for focus and falls down a staircase into a coil of ropes near Georgia. Believing him the stowaway, she pushes him back into the ropes and shields him with a blanket. Georgia pleads with the officer who goes for him. The captain identifies him as one of the two multimillionaires. There are apologies and orders for de luxe accommodations for the girl. A reporter asks who's the lady. His wife to be, Charlie whispers, and the two walk up together, to the upper deck, to pose in an old tintype embrace.
