This genial fellow keens merchants, farmers, and the people in happiness and health. But the three friends have a bitter, bitter enemy in Pessimism, the bandit who would rob the world of all good. Pessimism and his band of ugly glooms invades the market places, filling every corner with woe. Then he goes about among the farmers and instills fear that crops will not be good. Dr. Optimism and Miss Confidence bring Dollar into the parts of trade and business activity is restored. Then Pessimism and his glooms set upon Dollar and capture him. They are dragging him away to the dungeon, Money Vault, when Confidence declares that she cannot live without Dollar and will go with him. The glooms lock the pair in the vault and Pessimism and his army go forth to bring ruin. They engage the services of Panic and wander through the country. Dollar is paralyzed by inactivity and Confidence is dying, when Dr. Optimism consults the oracle, "Past Experience." "Smile and Boost" advises the oracle; Optimism seeks to reassure trade. He is only partly successful, for trade is dormant when Dollar is in prison. Besides. Pessimism is sneaking through the mart. Finally, Optimism raises an army of joys and they attack Pessimism and the glooms. To Trade is given the task of firing the gun of Civic. Trade is dormant. He hangs his head, thinking all is lost. The battle is raging and the joys of their leader are being drowned, when the spirit of Confidence comes to dormant Trade and rouses him. Confidence fires the gun and Pessimism falls over, dead. The glooms are routed and Optimism and his cohorts attack the money vault and release Confidence and Dollar, now almost deaf. A dose of the elixir of Optimism and Business activity completely restores the pair. Down vacant streets they hurry. Dollar nimbly turning somersaults and touching with his magic wand the racked houses and stores. All changes and the city's streets are teeming with busy life. Dollar goes into the barren desert. A few nimble turns and maneuvers, and desert is blooming with garden and fruit trees. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
