But Tillie. who is of a romantic disposition, spurns his love for that of Eddie, the street car conductor. She refuses a pretty engagement ring from Ernie, to accept a book of rides from Eddie, who wears brass buttons. Ernie, not without hope, plans revenge. Finding a bargain in an automobile, he purchases it, also some swell chauffeur clothes and going around to see Tillie, makes quite a hit with her. He has another brilliant idea and that is to run his automobile as a passenger-carrying vehicle in competition with Eddie's street car. Tillie now spurns Eddie for Ernie and Eddie finds that his street car business is sadly falling off, for Ernie with his "jitney" bus precedes him along the line and "snipes" all the would-be street car passengers. Eddie disheartened, is about ready to give up, but decides on some kind of revenge. He sprinkles tacks along the road on which his car runs with the idea of letting the air out of the auto tires of his rival. In a lonely place and quite disheartened, Eddie is held up by a bandit but Eddie only laughs and points to the cash register, which is empty. The bandit is offering his sympathies when Ernie's car pulls in sight. The tacks work effectively and Ernie, finding every tire punctured, sees all his passengers desert him for the street car, Tillie with the rest of them. Then the bandit gets in his work to Eddie's dismay, and runs off with the street car, the passenger's money and the fair Tillie. Eddie and Ernie decide to be friends and after fixing up the tires set off in pursuit of the street car, but they are too late. The bandit, Mr. Swag, leaves a note to Eddie and Ernie telling them that Tillie has promised to reform him and that they will soon be married. The bandit, to avoid further pursuit, has thrown away the controller and so it is up to Ernie to pull his friend's car home with him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
