Winky Willy has a fit of laziness. He does not feel at all inclined to try to master the intricacies of a problem in arithmetic set him by his indulgent father. Why indeed should he go to all the mental stress involved in working out the sum total of so many pounds of groceries at so many cents per pound. A brilliant brain wave strikes him and we see the diminutive comedian in the grocery store. He presents the unadded bill to the grocer, stating that it represents a rush order. Willy insists that the bill be added correctly, and he returns in triumph to present the completed sum to his father's astonished gaze. Daddy is dumbfounded to see that his son has so cleverly worked out the problem, until the distracted maid appears, followed by almost the entire grocery store staff of clerks, who have come to deliver the rush order. At first inclined to give Willy a beating, his father eventually sees the humor of the situation and forgives him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
