Synopsis: An antiques collector finds a priceless piece of furniture in a farmhouse. He convinces the owner it's worthless, but buys it for a small sum because, he says, he could use the legs for building something else. While he steps out of the house, the farmer decides to help him out by cutting up the worthless thing for firewood and saving the legs.
