According to a contemporary New York Times article, the first half of the film shows "Armenia as it was before Turkish and German devastation, and led up to the deportation of priests and thousands of families into the desert. One of the concluding scenes showed young Armenian women flogged for their refusal to enter Turkish harems and depicted the Turkish slave markets."

He takes out a life insurance policy and then tries to get himself "accidentally" killed. His numerous attempts are to no avail. Next he hires some strong arms to kill him since they have apparently been following him anyway. He gives the money for his murder for hire to his valet, Oki (Sessue Hayakawa). But then the broker returns and Ewing discovers that his investment has doubled! With the strong arms after him, Ewing must straighten out the situation before it's too late.

Cinq jeunes gens, apparemment tous de bonnes familles, déjeunent dans un grand salon, servis par deux domestiques. Au-dessus de la cheminée, un portrait de femme que l’hôte désigne comme étant celui de sa mère. La table ayant été dressée pour six personnes, il explique à ses amis qu’il a imaginé, pour les divertir, d’inviter le premier passant qui acceptera de venir partager avec eux leur repas. Rires d'acquiescement. L’un des jeunes disparaît quelques secondes puis revient, tirant par le bras un pauvre vieillard qui proteste et veut repartir. Mais tous s’y mettent et le vieil homme est assis de force, débarrassé de son chapeau, et accepte finalement de trinquer avec eux. Un intertitre (carton noir) sert d’ellipse temporelle et indique qu’après le repas, l’heure est venue des bonnes histoires. L’un des jeunes termine une plaisanterie qui fait rire toute la table. On presse l’invité surprise à raconter une histoire de son cru. Un carton indique qu’il leur annonce le récit de sa vie.
