When Lucile and her father came to call, Willie wished to conceal his poverty and painted a picture of Ham and Eggs on his plate for food. Lucile noted the deception. When Willie asked her father for Lucile's hand, the banker told him he must accomplish something worthwhile within a week. Going to sleep, Willie dreamed that he had an order to paint the words "Ham and Eggs" all over New York. In his dream he painted these words everywhere, on the sidewalks, on top of the Woolworth Building, in Times Square, on the sky, etc., etc. He received a check for ten thousand dollars for his services, which was sufficient to win Lucile's hand. Then he woke up to find his landlady about to eject him for not paying the rent. Just at that time, however, Lucile and her father arrived. She had told her father of Willie's straits, and the banker felt that the young artist was plucky enough to be taken into the family. To fill Wilie's cup of happiness to overflowing, a waiter then appeared on the scene bearing a large tray with real ham and eggs. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
