Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Harold and Willie are broke and hungry, but they stop to admire the poster of the Russian Dancer. She passes and drops her purse, which Harold picks up. He returns it to her apartment and she takes a fancy to him. He refuses a reward, so she gives him a rose. He is charmed, but Willie is disgusted. The landlady brings them a note and a box for the performance. At the show the dancer throws kisses to them and invites them to her dressing-room. She takes them home, and shows Harold the picture of a man whom he is to kill for her. As he is hesitating, two bearded men enter and inform him that they will hold Willie captive and kill him if Harold fails. Harold goes to the man’s house and manages to stab him. He is chased by the servants, but eludes them and returns to the dancer. Here he finds her making love to Willie. She tells Harold to fade away. The two boys start a fight, and just then Harold rolls out of bed and realizes that it has been a dream.
