| Hannah is busy at the washtub. Rastus is busy sleeping. He is rudely brought from a pleasant dream and sent out to buy a turkey. He is waylaid by Slim and Bud who inveigle him into a game and take his money by such questionable means as passing cards between the toes of Slim and the hands of Bud. The climax arrives when Bud holds four kings and an ace and Rastus gets five aces. Rastus departs by the foot and door route. His little boy, with a precocious knowledge of his Pappy, meets him outside and rather than return empty handed the rascals visit a turkey yard and borrow a fat turkey. Arriving home Rastus is frightened to death by a terrible ghost, and he kneels and confesses. The ghost is Mammy's sister and all is explained and forgiven at the sight of the "lent" and doomed turkey. |
