They are at the breakfast table and mother allows them to go out and play marbles, telling them first to be sure to keep clean. While playing, they spy three of their friends on the other side of the street also playing marbles. "Tough guy" Jack, Harry, and tiny Billy run across the street and soon they are all playing an animated game. They throw the marbles which they have won in a cigar box at one side and little Billy cautiously helps himself to as many as he can get into his chubby hands. He has a deal of fun throwing them one by one in a hole in the fence and pretty soon no marbles are left in the box. So that ends that game. Then someone suggests that they "make boats." So they run along and stop by the wayside and take off their shoes and stockings. They jump into a dirty pond and come out bespattered with mud from head to toes. Of course, they are afraid to go home looking like that, so they creep into the bathroom without mother seeing them. Soon the bathroom and bath tub are black and dirty from their clothes and grimy bodies. They manage to get into their bedroom and then ensues a pillow fight. One of the pillow cases bursts and soon the room is filled with feathers. Mother, however, comes to the rescue and everything ends well. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
