  A woman attempts to steal a sword that used to belong to Benedict Arnold from a farmer who dug it up on his property, but when she is confronted by a silent, grinning stranger whom she takes to be a rival collector, her shame gets the better of her and she confesses her theft to a passing police car rather than be turned over to the police by the man. After the police lead her away, the man is revealed to be a French tourist seeking directions who knows no English.
