As he nears the fountain a woman's handbag is stuffed into his hand, and the giver disappears. Mr. Cramp gets the water, and as be is bringing it to his wife, he trips over a lady's foot. It is Josie Jones, sitting under her beach parasol. "Oh, my bag. Have you seen it?" cries Josie. "Is this it?" says Mr. Cramp. It is, and Josie's beaming eyes reward him. He has spilled the water, however, so he goes back to the fountain. Again a man approaches and slips a bag into his hand. It is the same bag. Josie sees him returning to his wife, and snatches the bag from him, accusing him of stealing it. He apologizes, but the water is spilled again, so back he goes to the fountain. The next man who approaches warns him to look out for the cops, and dashes away. Cramp follows, and is led into the pickpocket's den. One of the crooks rushes in and says he has lost his elephant. Cramp had found a little elephant stickpin, and he innocently hands it to the man. The next minute he is out of the door with the band after him. The police get the crooks, but Cramp just manages to get back to his wife. "Where's my drink of water? Heavens, what a time you've been!" says Mrs. Cramp. And back he goes to the fountain.
