Mary Ann gets five cents from a policeman, which she gives to the poor woman. With the help of two boy pals, Mary builds a shed in a vacant lot and puts a sign on it which reads: "Mary Ann Free Milk Station, No. 1" The following morning, slipping from the house while her mother is still asleep, Mary takes the bottle of milk on her own doorstep and then follows the milkman, and steals every bottle of milk he delivers. Then she returns to the shed. Mary gives a bottle of milk to a colored woman. All the neighbors wonder what Mary's game is. They miss their milk and soon a crowd has gathered. The negress comes along and tells them about the new milk station in the vacant lot. The crowd rushes to the shed. Mary picks up two bottles of milk and looks formidable. A policeman goes to see what the trouble may be. Mary confesses to having taken the milk and the officer tells her, with mock severity, that she must take the milk back to the places from which she took it. Sadly she goes the rounds.
