"Roscoe Arbuckle and wife Billie Bennett are out for an afternoon in the park. While pickpocket Harry McCoy steals Miss Bennett's purse, Roscoe is flirting with McCoy's girl, Minta Durfee. It's one of innumerable Keystones set int he park, with everyone misbehaving up a storm. Miss Bennett treats her husband like a small, wayward child; Miss Durfee is willing to dump her boyfriend for an ice cream cone, and the cop on the beat is a grotesque. Keystones were aimed at a low-class audience who disliked authority, whether it be the police or the sensible wife...."
