Lonesome Luke, Social Gangster

• Watchlist

Luke and his companion, Tin-Horn Tommy, are shooting craps on a public thoroughfare when an ugly looking pedestrian comes tramping along. Like a fox can scent the approach of the hounds, so did they feel the presence of the badge-carrier. Luke retreats to the roadway and a few seconds later finds himself astride the radiator of a swiftly moving motor-chariot. Little Miss Somebody goes motoring and sees a sign offering a hundred dollars to the best dancing partner for Mrs. Vermin Rastle. The car on which Luke is riding bumps into the rear end of that belonging to the little millionaires and he lands in the seat beside her. She takes him in for feed and to try his feet at stepping. Tommy also meets a meal-ticket in the shape of someone not very good to look upon. In the establishment they try their feet at stepping and Luke, being able to floor the internationally famous stepper more times than anyone present, is given the razoo. But you can't keep a good man out, so he comes back with a pistol which he has taken from a policeman. When the commotion subsided there was still a few bits of furnishings that remained intact.
