On the way to his club house, a boy finds a wallet in the street. When members of the club go to Luna Park to return the wallet to its owner, who works there, a loutish pair gain possession of it. They spend freely from the wallet while club members led by their president, search for them. Finally they are caught, and members of the club are rewarded for their perseverance.
