The earliest depictions of Jewish characters in British cinema tended to fall back on negative stereotypes. This Edwardian slapstick short employs the stock antisemitic character of the avaricious Jew: realising he put the wrong coin in a train station slot-machine, Levinsky tampers with the machine to retrieve it and is thrown out of the station by the guards. Taking the situation into his own hands, he runs through the streets carrying the cumbersome machine with the police in hot pursuit.

A Jew puts a sovereign by mistake into a railway slot-machine. When the porters prevent him from breaking open the machine and eject him, he returns by stealth and runs off with it. Chased by the railway staff, he knocks various people over in his flight, and eventually arrives home where he extracts the coin just as his pursuers enter.
