The Stolen Booking

Plot : Unknown to Kelsey and Ryan, two prominent actors, the show troupe to which they are sent by their booking agent, was driven from town by the Constable and his deputies. While waiting for their train the two actors stepped into the depot lunchroom and are seen by Rube and Ben, both out of employment. Rube and Ben steal the actors' suitcases, their wallet containing two dollars, their railroad transportation and their contract to join the troupe for which they are leaving. The actors finding their suitcases and wallet gone and being unable to pay for the food they have eaten, are detained by two roustabouts of the lunchroom long enough for Rube and Ben to leave on their train, and are then thrown out.
