Max develops the bump of benevolence, and distributes his wealth, until he is informed that his account is overdrawn. He is in despair, and as he ponders a note arrives inviting him to a dance, where all the guests are to be dressed as Apaches. On the night of the ball he pretends to forget the regulation costume. He telephones for the police, saying that his house is attacked by desperadoes, and while the guests are being conveyed to prison Max robs the safe. He successfully escapes detection, and next morning is again able to visit his beggar friends.
