Carmen tells him she wants a doll, so Billie steals Olive's and gives it to Carmen. Olive gets angry and Billie is forced to procure a doll for her, so he looks about for one until he comes upon some Black children; he steals a doll from one and gives it to Olive, who is not satisfied with it and throws it away. The Black children chase Billie to a place where Olive disposed of the doll, and he returns it to the Black children. He then returns to Carmen, lures her from her sweetheart, and takes her to an ice-cream stand, where he treats her. He finds he has no money to pay for the ice cream, but quite undaunted he goes to the sweetheart he stole from and borrows a dime, with which he returns to the stand and pays for the sodas. The sweetheart, watching him, sees his nervy trick and gets angry. He at once rushes upon the young gallant and proceeds to "mix" this in a lively fashion. Billie comes out of the encounter much the worse for wear and now scorned by both Carmen and Olive. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
