The town was a "dead one," and each and every citizen admitted it except Magnesia Sizzles, the town's lone female resident, who had charge of the dining room of the City Hotel. Magnesia was a "live one." Lily White bumps into town on the weekly stage and is engaged by Hiram Hippo, the manager of a rival hotel, to take charge of his dining-room. Lily, by her wiles, wins all of Magnesia's customers, then through a "sympathy game" fleeces them of their earthly possessions and jumps the town. Magnesia, soured on Centerville, also leaves, and the town goes off the map. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
