Believing that he might make some money if he could get inside, he steals in under a visitor's coat tails and after wandering through the interesting streets he sits down on a bench to rest. An old rounder sees Peggy and follows her as she runs from him to the store of her friend, an excitable Italian, who pursues her annoyer and punishes him. Billy and the old rounder meet. They are old friends and the rounder laughs when he sees Billy meet two girls and invite them to dinner, for he suspects that bill has no money. Bill, of course, has none, and when the proprietress demands her pay he suggests to the girls that they should pitch dice to see who shall settle. They refuse, and Billy in his efforts to make the old rounder pay up comes to blows with him. The Italian suitor takes a hand in the fight and both are severely beaten by Billy. The girls get the police and Bill is chased through the streets to the Painted Desert, a Fair Concession. He runs to the highest peak of a precipice and defies his pursuers. The Italian hurls bombs at him and for a while Bill catches them and hurls them back at his assailants. At last one well directed bomb shell explodes, and Billy vanishes in smoke and flame only to awake on a park bench. He imagines he is still being persecuted but sees his annoyers are pigeons who literally cover him and when he drives them away he finds two eggs have been laid in his hat. He is annoyed at first, but pockets them when he realizes he has at least got something out of his visit to the Fair. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
