Tommy brown is a captive caught by the lure of the deadly dime novel. A new thriller is just out and Tommy is absorbing all that is possible from the brilliant front sheet exposed on the news stand. By hook or by crook he must have it for his own. Not having the necessary cash he becomes a carrying agent for a weary traveler who rewards him munificently. The money thus obtained is immediately exchanged for several lurid volumes. Sneaking quietly to his room he is soon in the midst of deeds of daring and hairbreadth escapes. Found by his mother executing a war dance around a supposedly fallen foe he is put to bed and all books in sight are confiscated. His mother's warning does him little good as on her leaving Tommy gets up, digs more novels from under the mattress and proceeds to burn the midnight oil until he finally falls asleep and dreams. The Dream. Creeping stealthily from the old chimney place in the pirate's cabin, he releases the captive maiden and leaps into the midst of the outlaw crew. A desperate hand-to-hand encounter ensues. His trusty guns have not failed - his heroism is rewarded, the last, of the desperate band lies groveling at his feet. His mind calls to life visions of hero worship, of news stands surrounded by excited crowds buying the new "blood-curdling" exploits of Tommy Brown. These visions are rudely dissipated by the heavy hand of his mother, who, attracted by the uproar in his room, arrives at the time of his most heroic exploit. Tommy wakes up to find himself unwound from the bed clothes in no gentle manner.
