Going into the house to apologize for the damage, Harold finds aged couple Mr. and Mrs. Stone, who speak kindly to him. As they talk the landlord enters, telling them that they must get out the first of the mouth. Harold goes back to the boys and tells of the old couple. They decide to go to Harold's older sister Elizabeth for advice. They find her entertaining the Girls' Friendly Society of the Grace Church, and it is decided that the girls' society and the boys' baseball team will give a Mother Goose Bazaar in the church vestry and give the proceeds to the old couple. The bazaar is a great success. All the participants are in Mother Goose costume, Harold being dressed as Little Boy Blue. He has a miniature haystack and sells popcorn. During the evening two Italian organ grinders come into the bazaar and play, while all the children dance around them. After the organ grinders leave, Harold begins to nod sleepily and finally crawls under his haystack, pulling the hay around him, and goes to sleep. The hour grows late, the customers all leave, the girls and boys count up their money, then prepare to go home. Elizabeth cannot find Harold and becomes alarmed. Her sweetheart Paul suggests that the organ grinders stole him and they go out on the street and tell their troubles to a policeman. The organ grinders are soon found, playing on a street corner and the policeman is convinced they know nothing about Harold. They go to the Stones' home, and Mrs. Stone, who has brought up many children, feels sure that Harold is somewhere in the church. So they all go back to satisfy the old lady, and there, "under the haystack, fast asleep." Mrs. Stone discovers Little Boy Blue. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
