Sweedie at the Fair

While Sweedie is studying her war map in her grog shop, two bums enter the place and start drinking wine. When Sweedie asks them to pay for it they dash out of the place. She calls the police and they pursue the bums. Sweedie is outdistanced in the chase and thought she saw the police enter a certain house, so she rushes in.

Sweedie, the servant girl, is in love with a fireman, but her affections are not returned. The fireman escapes her caresses and gains the firehouse and loses her seven hours later when a fire breaks out. The next day she finds him with another woman and administers punishment. Then she opens a lady barber shop and her first customer is the faithless fireman.

Sweedie while reading a book in the kitchen, falls asleep. She dreams that Kao Yama, Sultan of Puff Puff, has sent her a present in the form of a servant. She refuses to accept the slave, telling the Sultan's messengers that her husband would seriously object to having him around the house.

Mr. Dingy engages Sweedie as their cook. She insists upon bringing her dog "Skinny" and her parrot along. Mr. Dingy dislikes dogs, but rather than lose Sweedie he consents.

Countess Von Swatt goes on a slumming party and loses one of her calling cards in the "hash house" where Sweedie works. Sweedie finds the card. Next day an invitation to a ball to be given by Mr. Wealth is delivered by Sweedie by mistake.

Mrs. Goodheart, a charity worker, comes home one evening very much discouraged as she is unable to get even a small donation from Mr. Tightwad, the millionaire. She tells Sweedie, the cook, of her failure, so Sweedie decides to try her luck at making him "come across."

Henry Bigger, a short fat fellow, and Danny Slimson, short but slim, are rivals for the hand of Sweedie. One day while Danny is peeking in the window at Sweedie, he sees her reading a letter and immediately takes it for granted that it is from Henry. Instead, it is a notice from the landlord requesting her to pay her rent.

Sweedie has two admirers, and is undecided as to which one she prefers to marry. Her parents are in favor of Fritz, a little fat German. Sweedie is then determined to wed the other suitor.

Sweedie is the scrub lady in the theater. She makes eyes at the stage manager and the hypnotist and is put out of the theater for being so impertinent. Next day while she is out feeding her chickens, she falls asleep and dreams that she has been left an immense fortune by her uncle and that the stage manager and the hypnotist are rivals for her hand.

Mrs. Highstrung's maid leaves her at a very inopportune time, as she has just received a telegram from some friends that they will arrive in the city in time for luncheon. Jim, the hired man, tells her of a good Swedish cook and Mrs. Highstrung sends him post haste after her.

Sweedie tells her beau that her love has grown cold, so he decides to jump in the lake and end it all.
