He wanders out and sees a sign "Boy Wanted" outside a District Messenger office. He goes in and gets the job. Dressed in his A.D.T. uniform he is sent to a business man who wants a messenger. He is told to wait. He picks up a book called "Fiji Islands" and looks at the pictures. He falls asleep over it and begins to dream. He sees a cannibal girl eating a coconut. A tiger comes after her, but he drives it away with one kick, and she is very grateful. She is delighted to see him and rolls her eyes at him. They kiss each other and a big baboon comes down the tree and watches them. Sammy closes his eyes in enjoyment and while they are shut the girl walks away. The baboon comes down and takes her place and when Sammy starts to kiss her again he finds himself gazing at the hideous baboon. It jumps up in the tree again and Sammy goes after the girl. He finds her just as a porcupine is coming up behind her. He tells her to take a seat. She does so and sits on the porcupine. She yells and Sammy laughs, but a big cannibal comes up and hits him over the head with his club. Sammy wakes to find the business man hitting him on the head with a ruler to wake him and gives him the letter. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
