Transcription
Plot
An indigent street performer of Shakesperian verse chances upon a wallet filled with money and private papers. For its loser's desperate acquaintances, the papers have more value than any finder could conceive. A value for them its retrieval makes imperative, and, for the seemingly- fortunate finder, its longed-for riches only involve him in their violent world, and in more trouble than he ever knew, as a poorer man.
