Who does the bookie want the employees to collect from?
Ted Higgins and Tommy Hinchcliffe work for the Speedy Service Window Washing Company.  They run into a bookie named Nick Craig, who, after mistaking them for employees of the Speedy Messenger Service, sends them to Mr. Stewart's (Ben Weldon) office to collect $50,000 owed to him.  But Stewart has plans of his own: he hires two thugs to rob Ted and Tommy of the money he has just paid.  Tommy flees from the robbers and takes refuge in a room with a gaggle of women who are mailing face powder samples.  He hides the money in an envelope and addresses it to Craig, but it is accidentally switched with an envelope containing a powder sample.  Ted and Tommy return to Craig's office and explain what happened; they assure him that the cash will arrive in the mail the next day.
