The family proves to consist of Patsy, a little renegade girl, and Gramp, her improvident' grandfather. Larry, the vagabond, takes them in charge and tries to keep the child out of an orphanage and the man out of a home for the aged. In doing so he crosses trails with Susan, a young and pretty country welfare worker who is being forced to ship Patsy to an institution. In the ensuing adventures, which are often hilarious, Larry falls in loye with Susan. Patsy and Gramp wind up for the nonce in their respective institutions, and Susan runs away. Madge Evans, prettier than ever, does extremely well as Susan, and thirteen-vear-old Edith Fellows gives another of her magnificent performances.
