When they get a convict picture, the manager has an idea of putting Bill into a prison suit to help along the effect. That would have been all right had it not been that Bill had to chase a couple of small boys who patted him on the cheek with some tomatoes that were ripe for some time. It tired him so that he put aside the boards and took a nap in a freight car. That would have been all right, too, but the freight car happened to be going somewhere else and Bill went along with it part of the way, until the brakeman found him. Then he stopped very suddenly. Without his boards he looked like a convict and there was a reward for a man who had escaped. Bill thought they wanted him for stealing some pies and tried to fight them off with a shotgun he found. He might have done so only running after eating four pies brought on a stomach ache, and Bill was compelled to saw wood to pay for the pies. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
