- A comic picture that defies description. It depicts the Twentieth Century up-to-date tramp flying over the chimney tops of New York City in the latest improved flying machine. Weary Willie has the indispensible tin can hanging from his waist and he waves his hands to his friends as he flies along. He passes over the top of the Equitable Life building and other New York sky scrapers. He flies over the East River and clears the top of the Brooklyn Bridge, and appears to be making his way toward Staten Island. When he is about in the centre of the river, his flying machine explodes, and like the unfortunate McGinty, down goes Weary William. This picture is most mystifying and humorous.
- Happy Hooligan and his hurdy gurdy playing friend are making a lot of racket outside, so the concierge is trying to get them to leave.
- All lovers of comedy subjects will find this to be what they need. A typical tramp is seen perched on top of a bicycle which he is endeavoring to steer down the street, but is evidently an amateur, for his efforts are not attended with very great success. He is seen attempting to overcome his difficulties when, unfortunately, he encounters two young ladies out for a walk, and running into them, the whole party is thrown to the sidewalk, making the young ladies so angry that they chase the poor tramp and administer a handsome punishment. Not deterred, however, Mr. Happy manages to climb back on to his wheel and proceeds on his wobbly, very wobbly, way, accomplishing the maximum amount of damage in his progress. He first runs helter-skelter through a party of happy picnickers who are taking lunch on the front lawn and proceeds to totally demolish a bootblack stand around the corner. The next sufferers are two Irishmen who are enjoying a can of beer and are run into and scattered in every direction, while Hooligan takes a rest to look over the situation. Refreshed, he starts once more and ends his career by overturning a fruit stand in front of a grocery store and from the total wreck which ensues, it is to be surmised that the unfortunate bicyclist has met his Waterloo and rides no more, at least not until he has an opportunity of taking bicycle lessons.
- Hooligan crawls through a window into a room where two ladies have set a dainty table for an afternoon luncheon. Hooligan proceeds to make himself at home and sits down at the table. As he is devouring the dainties, the ladies return. One of them, perceiving how Hooligan had effected his entrance, closes the window, while the other calls the police. Hooligan dodges about and finally jumps head first through the window, smashing the glass as he does so. The scene then changes to the exterior of the house, where Hooligan is discovered as he comes through the window, landing in the arms of the fat policeman, who promptly arrests him. An excellent comedy scene.
- Four boys are shooting craps on the sidewalk just outside of a saloon. A genial Dutch bartender appears and shows the boys a new trick, which consists in placing an ordinary tin funnel in the waistband of one of the boy's trousers. The Dutchman then drops a coin into the boy's mouth and extracts the same coin from the funnel. Right here Happy Hooligan appears upon the scene and becomes curious. He indicates that he is willing to be convinced that the trick is genuine, and the proceed to play same on him. The funnel is placed in the waistband of his trousers and his head tipped far back to drop the coin in his mouth, which one of the boys appears suddenly with a large bucket of water, which he turns immediately into the funnel. Poor Happy Hooligan is nearly drowned and falls to the ground, dismayed at thus suddenly being brought in contact with water, which is Hooligan's sworn enemy.
- Hooligan introduces himself to the audience and also to a large juicy apple pie on a window sill. Happy Hooligan slouches around the corner of the house, and, spying the pie, gets outside of it. Having finished the pie, he turns his attention to a large pan on the window sill, full of ready mixed batter and flour. This he pulls over his head, and is immediately enveloped in a cloud of white flour dust as the cook appears in the window and discovers him. She promptly douses poor Hooligan with water.
- An organ-grinder is playing beneath the window of a cranky old woman. She objects strenuously. The organ-grinder, egged on by Hooligan, keeps on playing until a policeman appears. The organ man runs away, but Hooligan stops to explain. In the meantime, the old lady comes to the window with a pail of water and ducks the policeman. Hooligan, of course, gets all the blame and is carried off to jail.
- Hooligan gets a hand-out from a housewife on the promise that he will saw some wood. Having devoured the food, he proceeds to decamp, but is arrested by the housewife, who, with a gun ready for action, forces Hooligan to saw as fast as he can. Hooligan's antics are very funny.
- Hooligan happens in at a country cottage, and after disturbing the ladies proceeds to investigate the interior of the cottage by thrusting his head through the window. Unfortunately, he brings the window down on his head and hangs there kicking until Gloomy Gus rescues him. An extra good subject.
