He punishes him with a whipping, and Cy plans revenge. The opportunity comes when Jonathan gets a telegram calling him to the city to close up a business deal. While he is buying bis ticket Cy paints the word "Dynamite" on his grip, and as the train pulls in, Jonathan hurriedly picks up the case and rushes for his car without noticing the awful word on it. On his arrival in the city he goes to a jewelry store, where the clerk, seeing the word on the grip, offers him practically everything in the store. Jay takes all he can carry and starts for the bank. The jewelry clerk rushes for a policeman and they give chase to the unsuspecting countryman, who goes into the bank to draw out some money. Here he meets with the same experience, as the cashier also fears an explosion. Jay is now well loaded down with money and jewelry, but is soon tracked by the clerk, cashier and policeman. After many amusing experiences, he is captured and taken to jail where everything is satisfactorily explained and he is released and starts happily for his country home.
