This is a cartoon picture. Rastus lands in his native town from a box car after a pleasant trip. The first thing that attracts his attention is a wonderfully well-developed chicken who greets him at the door of the baggage room. Rastus resolves to capture the bird, but the chicken puts up a good fight and the robber has to content himself with an egg. Still pursuing his bent of crime, he turns his attention to a fine Jersey cow, but in this he is again disappointed, as the cow jumps over the moon. Rastus pursuing, gets badly mixed up with the stars. He finally gets down to earth and intrudes himself into a humble domicile just as the mistress in preparing for a bath.
