The party arrives at the park and go through the Maypole dance and the crowning of the Queen. And then the tragedy begins, for the little Knave of Hearts, who has been nursing his jealousy, seizes an opportune moment and steals the crown and queenly bouquet which are left unguarded by their possessors. He is, however, seen by two very tiny heralds to the Queen and they, seeking out the King and his little partner in the field of daisies, inform them of the terrible happening. Drawing his trusty sword the King dashes off to reclaim the lost crown and punish the offender. After many adventures he recovers the trophies and then discovers that he does not know where he is. The little queen has watched anxiously all afternoon for her knight, but he has not come and she is forced by those in charge of the party to go home. Meanwhile the father and mother of the boy have become anxious and hasten to the police station. They are just explaining their fears and anxieties to the sergeant when the little May Queen comes in. Just then a policeman brings in the little King fast asleep. He wakens, discovers the Queen, and kneeling before her he holds up the crown and bouquet. Her father sets her down and receiving the token from him, she offers him her hand as a fitting queenly reward for his valor. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
