A woman in a wide-brimmed hat stands facing a man in a suit and bowler hat, who then pulls a wad of cash from his jacket. The scene cuts to a crowd of men and a young boy in period clothing, who are initially cheering and raising their hats, then suddenly react with shock and horror, bringing their hands to their chests. The setting is a crowded outdoor area, possibly a town square or fairground, with tents and signs in the background.
