Presently a villainous looking tramp emerges from under tbe foot-bridge over tbe brook. He discovers the lunch basket and decamps with it.
Algy's sweetheart returns, discovers tbe tramp making off with the basket, and calls Algy back, who returns in time to see the tramp disappearing into the woods. He calms her fears and boldly starts after the tramp.
The next scene shows Mr. Tramp comfortably seated in the woods, regaling himself with the luncheon. Algy appears and demands the basket, whereupon Mr. Tramp, with the aid of a club, persuades Algy to exchange hats and coats, and to retire with him behind some bushes to exchange the rest of his attire.
