"Fatty" is given a dollar with which to pay the gas bill, but on the way to the office of the gas company he meets the idol of his dreams gazing wistfully at the goodies displayed in the window of a confectionery store. "Fatty" is sorely tempted, but resists manfully. It is too much however, when Johnny Boston Beans butts in and monopolizes the lady's conversation. "Fatty" falls, and, flashing his dollar bill, he proceeds to treat the fair one. Then to heap coals of fire upon the head of his rival he invites Johnny Boston Beans to accompany them. The dollar is soon spent for ice cream and candy, but poor "Fatty" is up against it for the dollar. When he returns home he feigns sickness to avoid any possible questioning on the part of his mother, and is put to bed. It is then that remorse sets in and he sees terrible visions of himself in a felon's cell. The next morning he sets out to earn an honest dollar to repay the one he has stolen. At the end of a day of toil, however, he has only fifteen cents to show for his efforts. His mother starts to prepare the evening meal and finds that the gas company has shut off the gas. His mother and father force from "Fatty" an explanation and he is forced to confess, adding that he "did it all fer love." This is too much for his parents. "Fatty" hears them chuckling and looks up wonderingly, only to be hugged to his father's breast and to receive his parents' hearty forgiveness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
