A large crowd gathers where a man stands on a ledge of the Fremont Building, one hundred feet above, threatening to jump. He does, and as he falls, he thinks back to earlier in the day when his boss tells him that he s being laid off. As he gets ready to board a bus for home, he sees a woman drop her purse and attempts to return it. She accuses him of trying to steal it. Scared, he flees and heads for the ledge of the building, and jumps, but is saved by a fireman's net. His boss witnesses the scene and hires him back.
