Details:

A morning comedy drama in a city park opens with a very attractive young lady resting on a park bench and, perhaps waiting for someone to join her. An elderly beau seems to think that this is his opportunity and, seating himself on the bench, endeavors to carry on a flirtation with her, in which he is unsuccessful, as the lady very plainly shows him that his attentions are not required and that she would prefer his room to his company. The expected lover here arrives on the scene and receives a very warm greeting, but apparently disappoints his lady by telling her that he cannot stay and must leave her at once to keep another engagement. Evidently very much disappointed at his leaving her, she sinks back on the bench and indulges in a good cry. Safely hidden behind a tree a genuine tramp has been an amused spectator of the whole incident and conceives the idea of substituting himself in the place of the missing lover, which he does, taking his seat on the bench while the disconsolate damsel’s back is turned and, gaining possession of her hand, tries to please her by caressing and fondling it. This is very well and a good graft for his “Trampship,” until the mistake is discovered and the lady indignantly attacks him. The hobo makes his escape, but is hotly pursued by the lady and her lover, who has returned just in time to witness the climax of the little drama. A very exciting chase ensues, from which Weary Willie cleverly escapes, for a minute, by jumping into an empty garbage barrel. Just then, however, the lady of the house appears with some scraps, which she empties into the barrel and the tramp jumps out, is discovered and the chase goes on. He next discovers a brother hobo asleep in the park and quickly changes clothes, sending his pursuers on the wrong track, to his great amusement. The new victim, however, finally escapes by changing hat and coat with an old gentleman who is asleep on his veranda and gets badly mauled by the pursuers before the mistake is discovered.
