Well then: "Lotta Mincemeat," the beautiful heroine of his romance, admired for her charm and refinement, eats soup without walking the Nut Sundae, an honest soda clerk, betrothed to Lotta, has amassed a fortune of $81.30 by putting sawdust in the ice cream soda. I. Pickup, a prosperous junk dealer, who is determined to steal Lotta from Nut, has tempted her with a nickel's worth of chewing gum and a horse-car ride, but she sticks to Nut.

I hope she doesn't scratch the furniture in the struggle," etc., etc., until Nut Sundae, falsely imprisoned, has "a sudden inspiration." He disguises himself as an orange phosphate and spills through the bars to liberty, and Lotta. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
