The attendant of the show, falling asleep, dreams that all the figures get up and leave their places and go out in a body to have one hilarious time. The first place they strike is a Pathé show, and we watch them crowding in to enjoy the moving pictures. Next they all take a slide on the toboggan and their antics cause us much amusement, especially when we see them landing in a heap at the bottom of the slide. They have a boat ride, go on the roller coaster, have their pictures taken and enjoy all the sights in the place. Finally they come to a side show where a man is offering a price to anyone who can throw him in a wrestling match. One of the fellows tries, but loses in the first hold. Finally, one of the women of the party challenges the professional and with the greatest ease downs him and nearly breaks his back in the operation. They wind up by having a ride on the merry-go-round, and in the last picture we see them all back in their different places in the booth and the old attendant waking up gazes anxiously around in order to satisfy himself that it is only a dream.
