Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Two little tots have a babyish quarrel in a sandpile, and they toddle home and tell their mamas. These worthy women send children a little older to correct the matter, and they, in turn, get the mothers and fathers involved. Then the neighbors take sides and finally the police are called to suppress a riot. The blue coats cannot arbitrate, so the fire department is called in. They throw cold water on the hot-heads. Next day a wise old magistrate reads them a lecture. Finally, they all make up, and the juvenile disputes are happily adjusted.
