Nora Farley gives a party and because of Wallie's father's standing in the village, is forced to invite him. The boy sees his opportunity to show just how much he knows. One of his tricks is pulling a tablecloth from the table without disturbing the dishes. The night of the party Wallie insists on pestering everyone and particularly the other boys. The climax is reached when he seeks to pull the tablecloth off without disturbing the dishes. Nora gets them in her lap. Wallie is hustled away and soused in the horse trough. Left alone, he crawls, shivering, into the wagon and under the hay. His trip home is extremely sad. Next morning, Wallie, with a severe cold, makes his way to the barn where he destroys his book on legerdemain and the village is left in peace once more.
