The Pest of the Neighborhood (1915)
Billy is seen at the summit of a hill, surveying the clotheslines and dumping grounds in the vicinage. His attention is suddenly attracted by a man's legs sticking through a fence. It is the leg of an impostor who is on the other side of the fence begging. Persons going by pity him because he has only one leg and drop money in his outstretched hat. Billy rather relishes the leg and continues to eat it. The beggar is afraid to pull his leg out as a policeman is standing nearby. Finally the pain is so great that he withdraws the leg and runs down the street without his crutches. The vengeful beggar in hot pursuit of Billy, the goat, lams the butcher's boy instead of the goat and trouble starts for him. Off on his pestiferous career again Billy butts the grocer who objects to his browsing on choice vegetables, steals the bottle from baby in a carriage and sends the baby and carriage off on a mad plunge which presents a loving pair with a baby before it is wanted. Pesky boys unhitch a dog and tie Billy to the leash of a man who was seen to ask the bartender what his address was. This dog-loving, harmless man takes Billy home, unknowingly, and Billy certainly gets the hubby in bad with the wife. By this time there is a fine collection of respectable but irate citizens in pursuit of Billy the pest, and things do mix themselves up till Billy, with Mistress Souse, resists the charges in the familiar fortifications of his shanty home.
