While his fat and pampered brother is eating a huge breakfast, "Big Boy" is trying to get more milk for him. He is on his way home from the grocery carrying the bottle when he drops and breaks the milk bottle. "Big Boy" knows that he dare not return home without the milk. He sees a billboard of a cow and thinking it is the real thing, procures a milk bottle and tries to induce the cow to give him some milk. A miracle apparently happens for the bottle is filled with a white fluid which looks like milk but is really paint spilled by men who are painting the back of the sign board. The child hurries home with his filled bottle. The fat brother drinks the contents greedily and is surprised when he discovers it is paint. Mother declares that "Big Boy" shall be sent to bed and that he will not be allowed to go to the circus with the other of the children. "Big Boy" goes to his room. In a moment he gets an idea, climbs down a ladder and is soon on his way to the circus. He lands on a toy automobile and goes rushing through traffic, finally arriving at the circus where he tears through the tent and into the middle of the ring. He is chased out by the ringmaster. He tries again to get into the show and again is chased out. The third attempt succeeds when he hides in a barrel. But it is the barrel which is used in a juggling act, and "Big Boy" is whirled around until he is dizzy. The ringmaster again ejects him. But he enters again and is thrown to the shoulders of a trio of acrobats. The crowd cheers and "Big Boy" takes a bow--only to wake up and find that it was all a dream. But mother relents and takes him to the circus. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
