The grateful Davis offers them a 5,000-dollar reward if they can find an honest man with executive abilities.

Just as they are leaving, Davis is coming in — handcuffed to a detective and revealed as "Lone Wolf Louie, the biggest bond swindler in America." The Stooges wind up back in jail, breaking rocks over Curly's head.
