He tries various ruses, but his companions refuse to fall for them and he has to stay to the bitter end. Itsky, the inventor, finally comes to his assistance with the following invention: On a table in a room adjoining the poker room a candle is set in a socket, with a string tied about it at a certain distance below the wick. The cord leads through a series of pulleys to a lever which, when the cord burns through, drops, explodes a small balloon and releases a bellows attachment which blows a police whistle loud enough to be heard in the street. Hoozis is delighted with it, tries it out in a game and it works beautifully. The explosion, followed so quickly by the police whistle, sends the players flying helter-skelter from the room while Hoozis is winning heavily. But at the next game the players combine to put one over on Hoozis while he is adjusting his apparatus, with the result that he loses out. Then the cops are attracted by the police whistle and enter the building on the run. Excitement runs high for a while, but it all ends up in a laugh and good-natured fun.
