Learning of Jackie's misfortune from the officiaIs, Old Captian Hicks (GilIingwater) takes pity on the boy and encourages him to play with the other chiIdren. When Jackie gets mixed up with a Iarge famiIy, he is accidentalIy reIeased and finds himseIf alone on the city streets where he spots his "friend" the captain and follows him home.
