In the Park

A tramp steals a girl's handbag, but his attempt to pick Charlie's pocket costs him his cigarettes and matches. He then rescues a hot dog vendor from a thug, though he helps himself to a few sausages with his walking stick. When the thief tries to take some of Charlie's sausages, Charlie ends up with the handbag. The bag travels from person to person until it reaches its owner, who is angry at her boyfriend for failing to protect her. In despair, the boyfriend tries to throw himself into the lake, and Charlie steps in to help.
