Bill, innocent lamb, gambols in the green fields. He is a farmer's boy. It so happens that Bill is called upon to visit a distant city to see his aunt. Of course the simple one thinks that all he has to do is to get to the city and then ask for his aunt, the same as one would do in any ordinary village. This leads him into the hands of a practical joker, who sells him a compass, and tells him to follow wherever the needle points. Bill has a lively time of it while trying to keep to the straight path. Houses have to be gone through, brick walls have to be passed through, and still Bill does not waver in his determination to follow the needle.
