Summary
  • Tommy Town: Tommy wants to show his cousins how to mount a horse. He thinks he knows what he is doing. He puts his foot in the stirrup, brings his leg over the horse and proceeds to go all the way over the horse and falls on the ground. His cousins laugh.
  • Ratty and Algy: Ratty is told to stand guard outside the bank and distract anyone while he goes in and robs the bank. A man comes up and Ratty talks with him and takes him to get a drink. While they are at the bar, the police come up to the bank, go inside and arrest the bank robber.
  • Circus Solly: Solly goes into an empty tavern. He knocks off the legs of one of the tables and gets under the table and acts as legs. A group of people come in and sit at the table and are served a full meal. Solly stands up, the people at the table fall over and Solly runs out the door with the food. He puts the table down, sits down at it and eats the food.
