The maid thinks it a favorable chance to gossip with a friend and leaves Bobbie playing happily on the lawn with some of his toys. While she is gone a tramp comes along to the back door. Bobbie tells him that everybody is out. When the tramp tells the little fellow that he is hungry and has had nothing to eat all day, Bobbie takes him by the hand and leads Jim into the house, where he quickly finds some food for him. When the tramp has eaten, Bobbie invites him into his playroom and exhibits his toys. The tramp is reminded of his own little child, who had died years before. Forgetting the strangeness of his position he plays on with the child all the afternoon and is found there by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon when they return. Looking through the doorway they see the tramp on the floor with the child's small bank in his arms. Thinking that he is about to rob the child, Gordon is furious and is about to shoot the man when his wife stops him. She shows him that the tramp and the boy are playing together. Covering the man with his revolver. Gordon enters the room. The tramp tells Gordon and his wife the story of his own wife and child and of how little Bobbie had brought back to him the thought of his younger and better days.
