There is only one thing that stands between them and the chiming of the wedding bells, money, the root of evil. He must get some money if he's to marry the girl. To make matters worse, the theatrical company of which he is a member is in dire straits (to put it mildly). It is decided to give a benefit at the sailors' home to get some funds together. Connie gets quite a collection of coin from the rich widow, Leigh, who mourns the loss of her darling sailor boy who has disappeared and has not been heard of in many years. Connie sees his photograph and marvels at the wonderful likeness between the long lost sailor lad and himself. "Marvelous,'' exclaims the widow, "A perfect image of my son, but he had his four front teeth out, a snake on his right arm, an anchor on his left, the Statue of Liberty on his back and a pig on his chest." Connie sees light. He'll get the widow's bankroll and marry the girl. The dentist pulls out his four front teeth. The tattoo artist works faithfully on Connie's arms, back and chest. He then returns to the widow; he is her long lost darling sailor boy and the pain is compensated by the rosy picture he visionizes of the future. The widow is excited. Yes, he has the anchor, the pig, the snake, the statue of liberty; he is minus the four teeth. But her son had only one eye. Connie has an eye too many! That is too much for Connie.
