One day, Bobby wanders where only rich folks live and plays before an iron gate where a dainty little miss is playing with her dolls. She and Bobby talk and her father gives Bobby a dollar, more money than he ever got before. That night when Pietro, Bobby's master, hears about the dollar he tells Bobby to bring the little girl to their wretched home to see a miniature steamship he is making. And Bobby thinking nothing wrong gets little Aida away from her fine home. Then Bobby is locked in a room and Aida is made a prisoner in the cellar while Pietro and his accomplices write a letter to Aida's father demanding a ransom. Bobby overhears the plot and slips away to a cellar window and gets Aida out and takes her back home just as her distracted father and mother are beginning to search for her. Pietro and the other men are arrested and Bobby is kept in the fine home as Aida's own little "bruvver." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
