At the village of Springtown he is discovered and thrown down an embankment. Picking himself up, he wanders up the road and encounters a lunch wagon, whereupon he orders a pie for breakfast. But, not having any money, the lunchman kicks him out and Patsy runs away, pursued by the lunchman. As they disappear the wagon is driven off by a tramp and Patsy, eluding his pursuer, joins the tramp. Both are arrested by the village constables, and given ten days in jail. In the meantime, Jack Prince and his wife come to Springtown, where Jack has secured a position as assistant superintendent of a trolley company. On being discharged from the lockup. Patsy applies for a position in a drug store, but being recognized by the magistrate who sentenced him, he is driven away, and then goes to the office of the street car company, where he is placed on trial as a conductor and has several unfortunate experiences. Tilly, having become tired of the attentions of Sykesy, and still favoring Patsy, also comes to Springtown on a visit to Mary, where she is found by Patsy, and his attention to her almost loses him his position. Jack writes to Patsy's parents disclosing his whereabouts, which causes them to set out for Springtown. From them the faithful Jane learns where he is and also takes the train, pursued by Sykesy. Jane finds her way to Mary's house, but immediately on her arrival Mary receives a telegram calling her to a seminary, where she has applied for a position, and sets out for the station. At the same time, Patsy, now entrusted with the duties of conductor, encounters his family as passengers and, spurred on by the revengeful Sykesy, a rough crowd throw him from his car. He is picked up by Mary and the two go to Jack's office to find that he has gone with the Bolivars to investigate the throwing off incident. She leaves a note for him, sending it back by the office boy, and proceeds to the train with Patsy. Here she tries to induce him to return to the village, but finding that his father is after him, he insists upon running away and departs on the train, with Mary, just as her husband and the others arrive, to be told by Sykesy that she has eloped with Patsy Bolivar.
