The "dear little boy" is industriously engaged in his bedroom in fishing in the wash-basin. He smashed a few ornaments in the process, but hastily conceals the fragments as he hears papa approaching, and is apparently sound asleep when his parent enters. Uncle and aunt are invited with their little niece to the birthday feast. While the elders are amusing themselves, below the children enter the studio, and finding Red Indian dresses there, make themselves up like Red Indians, stick an anatomical figure up against an easel spread a pile of books and papers round it, set the whole business on fire, then dance a war dance round the fire. The smoke issuing from the window attracts the attention of two policemen. They dash madly into the house, and up to uncle, who is squalling away at his favorite song. The party rushes into the studio, but beat a hurried retreat when opening the door, they perceive the "Redmen." There is a bit of knockabout comedy, and then, finally plucking up courage, the party make tor the studio once more. In the interval, Foolshead and the little girl have removed all traces of their mischief, and when the angry crowd arrive they find two sweetly innocent children quietly reading books. Believing that the police have been fooling them, the rest of the folk turn upon them, and there is a lively scene as a conclusion.
