Miss Olivia Slincum's horse, attached to a buggy, becomes frightened and runs away. Romeo, the elephant, stops it in its mad career. Olivia touches a tender chord in Bunny's heart, and he brings forth a responsive one in hers. The next day Olivia attends the circus, bringing the elephant cookies and sweets. Romeo becomes fond of Olivia and the next day visits her at her home. Again Olivia attends the circus, and Romeo, seeing her, grasps her hat, supposing it to be a dainty. Bunny comes to her assistance and she regards him as one of the grandest and bravest of men. Romeo does not forget Olivia's kindness and breaks from his fastenings at night and goes to visit her home. Just previous to his arrival, a burglar breaks into the house and is about to gag her when the elephant puts in an appearance and lifts him bodily from the room. Bunny, the trainer, misses his elephant, and goes in pursuit. He sees Romeo walking off with the thief and rushes into Olivia's home to learn if anything serious has occurred. Olivia is so grateful for the services rendered by Bunny and his pet, she willingly accepts Bunny as her future keeper and guide through life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
