He has a good time of life, however, especially when a customer enters with a baby carriage from which one of the wheels had been broken off. Charles does more than fix the carriage. He discovers that it really contained a "precious" load, and he drank until he staggered. But all good times must end sometime, and Useless fell in love with a girl. Naturally, when a city chap tried to beat him to it. Useless departs for the city to win fame, fortune and the girl. A fortune teller advises him to stake his luck on the horses and he gets a job at the track. He has heaps of mishaps until the day of the great race when he sees his girl with the villain among the spectators. The villain recognizes him and seeks to disable the horse which he thinks will be the winner. When Useless intervenes, he is thrown from the hay loft where he is sitting onto the back of the race horse; the horse becomes frightened, chases out, enters the race, and wins with flying colors. Charlie is showered with flowers but when he begins to demand the money, the fortune teller explains that he is still gazing in the crystal. Charlie smashes the crystal, is thrown out by the fortune teller, and alas, is compelled to hit the trail home again. Written by Moving Picture Weekly - August 6th, 1920 See less
