The missiles, missing the boy, hit a policeman. Terrified, Ham and Bud flee. To get food, Ham tries the famous old "starving beggar" trick. A crowd that sees him grab a piece of bread from the sidewalk, gives Ham a hatful of money. Bud, however, steals the collection and disappears. Taking pity upon poor Ham, Mrs. Manning and her daughter Nellie place him in their auto and take him to their home. In the meantime, Bud gets into a crap game and loses all his money. Later, he is arrested by a policeman and carted to jail. While Bud languishes in the cell, Ham is being royally entertained. Ham makes a big hit with Nellie. Ham endeavors to sing for his kind friends, but his barber-shop chords prove too much for them. They invite him out for an auto ride. For a while everything is lovely. Then the butcher boy and the policeman assaulted by the adventurer, see him in the machine. Giving chase, they overtake the Manning auto and drag Ham out. Poor Ham's castles in the air come crashing to the ground. Turning coldly from him, the Mannings drive on. Ham is taken to the police station and thrown into a cell. To his intense delight, he finds that Bud is his cellmate. Seizing hold of his diminutive chum, Ham whales away at him for dear life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
