Edmund Breese, Ray Cooke's boss, is trying to buy a sausage factory. However, the cash hasn't come through, so he sends an insulting telegram to the owner. This ends in the two of them playing a round of office gold to see whether the payment gets made in cash or stock.
All of that makes sense, if you're not too fussy. This being the seventh episode of the talking short comedy series, when we're not being treated to Cooke insulting office manager Franklin Pangborn, or summoning a fire brigade instead of a Western Union messenger. Some of the gags are very amusing.
