All the gags in "Stand Pat" are centered around gambling Cards, dice and put-and-take are played in the opening scenes. But some novel games are added. In one all the people are lined on the floor with little mouse traps. The traps are numbered and bets are made before the little mouse is released from a corner. The trap into which he rushes wins the stakes. The climax of this amusing comedy presents the old game of pinning the tale on the donkey. The two rivals for the hand of the girl compete in this game and some very amusing results follow.
