Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Brakeman Bill unwittingly causes his sweetheart, Mandy, to become jealous. She leaves him in a huff, determined to get even. Bill gives vent to his feelings when he discovers Phil and Clarence, two box tourists, stealing a ride. This worthy pair find themselves now stranded. And worse, their stomachs are empty. They spot a delicious cake, set out by Mandy’s cook to cool. Phil is chosen to make the raid. Phil secures the coveted cake and refuses to divide with his pal, Clarence. The latter returns the cake dish to its owner. The cook is out with her friend, the cop, looking for the miscreants. Clarence meets Mandy, who seeing a chance to get even with Brakeman Bill, fetes Clarence with all the goodies in her pantry. Mandy’s scheme works, for Bill can hardly control himself. Phil, who is gleefully devouring his purloined cake, also becomes a witness of Clarence’s good luck. His glee changes to chagrin. He is then spotted by the cook and cop and after a desperate chase is captured. Then Clarence forgets himself and starts to make love to Mandy. Bill comes to her rescue. As Phil and Clarence are led away to their just deserts Mandy vows to Bill she will ever believe implicitly in him.
