But he happens to get hold of the mysterious white violin case which marks him as a friend to the members of a blood and thunder anarchistic society. The case contains a violin which is really an ingenious infernal machine, for the bow is a knife and when it cuts the strings the violin explodes. The anarchists cast lots to decide who shall play the violin at Mrs. Rollerhill's concert, and the cards are stacked to give the job to poor Bud. Wherever he goes after that, gingerly carrying the violin case, the anarchists are with him, even to the Rollerhill concert. But mix-ups follow, and though they bring on a rapid succession of laughs and give poor Bud many a trying moment, it all ends happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
