Synopsis:
Charlie enters a departmen store and proceeds to annoy the employees with his antics. At this very moment, the store manager and his floorwalker are in the process of robbing the store's safe. The floorwalker double crosses the manager and flees with the money, only to run into Charlie on his way out. He and Charlie are look-alikes. The police catch the floorwalker and Charlie is left with the money. By this time the store manager is back in the picture and he chases Charlie around the store in a mad dash to retrieve the money.
