While tough Billy Quirk is waiting for his girlfriend Mary Pickford to finish with church, Kate Bruce and Claire McDowell ask him to escort them home, through a rough part of town. He reluctantly agrees. Then they run into some toughs.
Here's a straight-up sequel to a Griffith movie, MUGGSY'S FIRST SWEETHEART. Griffith wasn't so interested in doing more comedy, so he passed it on to Frank Powell. Thanks to a good script by Stanner Taylor, it holds up well.
However, neither Pickford nor Quirk were interested in Biograph's B units. They left, Quirk for a career that petered out, and Pickford to become America's Sweetheart.
Watch for Jack Pickford, Mary's kid brother, playing.... well, Mary's kid brother.
