- A gentleman is lounging in his easy chair smoking and reading the paper. His little boy Willie, brimful of mischief, is tormenting little sister until lather reprimands him and makes him sit quietly to one side of the room. The little fellow picks up a paper and sees a headline, "Circumstantial Evidence." This is Greek to Willie, and he asks his father to explain. The parent immediately does so, while the child nods his head that he understands, then leaves the room bent on putting "circumstantial evidence" to a test. He goes to the kitchen, where his mother is baking cake. He asks her for some milk, is given a little in a glass, asks for more and is refused. When mother leaves the room Willie almost drains the bottle, pours a little on the table, places the cat nearby and goes out. Outside Bridget is beating carpet. Willie pulls out a few hairs, and, while papa is looking aside, puts them on his shoulder. He then hunts up mother and tells her of the hairs on his father's shoulder. A family argument takes place and Willie is satisfied. He then goes out on the back porch, where his mother has just put some freshly baked pies out to cool off. Willie makes away with them, calls the dog, smears a little pie over its mouth and feet and runs away. The mother meanwhile is weeping bitterly from what she thinks unfaithfulness on the part of the husband while he is doing his best to console her. Bridget enters at this moment and angrily tells how Willie pulled out her hair. Light dawns on father and mother, and as Willie enters, he is justly blamed for all the trouble and punished accordingly.—Moving Picture World synopsis
