A little boy steals 8 pennies from his parents and becomes an orphan. He was deprived of mushrooms at dinner as punishment for the theft, but they turned out to be poisonous. He later becomes a hunter, groom, croupier, and professional cheater. Fortune is his constant companion but he then acquires a taste for gambling. He loses all the money he won cheating during an honest game.
