Jimmie's Midnight Flight (1911)
Jimmie and Toto on their return from school Friday evening hand their report cards to their parents, sad to relate, Jimmie is very reluctant to show his. We are not surprised at this when we see that he has not received even one good credit for his work at school. His father after scolding him harshly threatens him with dire punishment if he doesn't mend his naughty ways, and sends him off to bed. Jimmie, very wrathfully, steals away from home and soon overtakes a company of gypsies, who induce him to join them. He joyfully does so, but soon learns that he will have to work hard to earn a living. They dress him in ragged clothes, and send him out to beg. One day, tired and thirsty, he passes a farm and notices a woman milking. Watching his chance he creeps into the yard and seizes the milk pail and refreshes himself with a good drink of the sweet new milk. The farmer's wife catches him in the act and has him arrested. The gendarmes hustle him homeward, where he is welcomed by his very anxious and worried parents, and finally pardoned. Jimmie is very repentant and makes up his mind to be a better boy in the future.
