"Big Boy" and his brother, Jackie, are very hungry. There is nothing to eat in the house. Their mother, a wash-woman, is very poor and has no money to buy food or to pay the rent. Jack and "Big Boy" go out to play. They manage to get some coal for the stove and put it in the kitchen. Then they go to the grocery store where Jack works, delivering bundles, to pay a long due grocery bill. "Big Boy" meets Bonnie at the grocery store and starts a flirtation with her. Bonnie is a little rich girl but she finds the attentions of the poor boy quite acceptable. "Big Boy" makes funny faces and cuts up generally. But he nearly wrecks the store in his efforts. Then to make had enough worse, "Big Boy" climbs into the meat display window after his dog and gets thoroughly spanked by the grocer for his efforts. Jack is told to watch a baby in a buggy. The baby crawls out of the carriage to play with "Big Boy" while Jack ties the buggy to the pet dog. A cat comes along and the dog chases it. The grocery keeper and the mother of the child miss the buggy and start a frantic search for it. They enlist the aid of all the police as the search goes on. The dog pulls the buggy all over town, finally landing in a lake. While the frantic mother and groceryman scream for help, "Big Boy" and the baby are looking for the mother. The mother offers fifty dollars reward to anyone who will save her baby. Consequently, when "Big Boy" appears with the child, she gives him the money. "Big Boy" pays the groceryman and the landlord what his mother owes them and he and Jack go out and purchase the makings for a big feast with the remainder of the money.
