Presenting a unique and novel idea. A handsomely appointed café is shown, with a large scale upon which patrons are weighed as they enter the place. They partake of anything desired and are again weighed, paying for the weight of the food eaten. An ingenious young man enters, is weighed, eats a hearty meal, and then takes from his pocket a leaden weight which he hides under the table. Upon being weighed again it is found that he has lost weight, and the cashier pays him for the difference. As he leaves the trick is discovered and he is pursued and arrested.
