Desmond, angry, swears revenge. He follows the lovers while they take a gondola ride and follows them from there to the rollercoaster. Billy and Olive get inside the coaster and start to play. Desmond looks around; seeing no one in sight, gives the coaster a shove, which starts it off on its journey. The coaster races around the track at a high speed and the children scream to attract the attention of one of the attendants. But the machinery becomes unmanageable and he calls for police assistance. The police come to the spot and after several funny and unsuccessful attempts to stop the coaster, they get into another and give chase. After several funny situations they finally get it away and give chase. Meanwhile, Billy and Olive's coaster has slowed down and it stops in an obscure spot; they jump out and get away. The police find that they cannot stop their coaster. The coaster gains speed and the other attendants who have arrived on the scene are unable to stop it. Meanwhile, Desmond grows horrified at his rash act and flees the scene. Billy takes Olive among the rocks on the beach and the picture closes with Olive's head resting on Billy's shoulder.
