- In "Dippy Dan's Doings" ( and not "Dan's Dippy Doings") Dippy Dan (Dan Russell), a taxicab driver in New York City, is addicted to both speeding and flirting, and his affair with a judge's wife combines both of his addictions into a long chase.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- The cops put a rope across the street to discourage speeders, but all they could catch was a cow. Later they were more successful, when Dan, the chauffeur, came along with the manicure in his machine. They were taken to the police station. Dan and the judge were interested in the manicure, but the judge had the disadvantage of possessing a jealous wife. She hired Dan's car, and he ran her over a rough road, and then was arrested for speeding again, and taken before the judge again. As they have already encountered each other over the manicure, Dan is afraid that he will get a long sentence. But the little manicure comes into the courtroom, carrying the hat which the judge has forgotten and left with her. The judge is in terror, because his wife is in the courtroom. Dan thinks he is going to get off after all, but the judge creates a disturbance by pulling a gun, and Dan crawls on a board from the window of the courtroom to that of the opposite hotel. He is not aware that he has entered the judge's rooms. The judge goes to his room. Dan hears him coming, and disguises himself in the sheet, putting on a pillowcase for a cap. He takes up a feather duster, and pretends to be the housemaid. The judge enters, and happens to step on the sheet. It is pulled off, and the judge recognizes the chauffeur. Dan beats it hastily and hides in the mail-bag in the office of the hotel. The judge and his wife decide to leave town. Dan, in the mail-bag, is loaded onto the same train which they take. The clerk finds him, but allows him to take refuge in a Pullman. The judge and his wife are seated in the drawing-room. A man tries to flirt with the wife, and the judge angrily sends her back to their compartment. She leaves her coat, and when Dan comes into the car, he disguises in it. The judge takes him for his wife, and sends him into the compartment, too. Dan and Mrs. Judge confront each other, and hearing the judge returning, they hide Dan in the berth. The porter comes in to make it up and Dan is discovered. The chase leads to the top of the car, and they race back and forth over the roofs of the cars. An engine full of police is pursuing them, and Dan finally is forced to dive from a bridge into the river below.—Moving Picture World synopsis
