Pair of Vagabonds and a Dog Show Drama on the Beach
A narrator recalls Billy Alcibiades and his dog as they perform on the beach. The tale follows the dog’s tricks and a sly manager, a young woman reconnecting with her father, and the plan to reform the ageing showman. The ending shows Alcibiades retiring from the stage after a life of vagabond acts and moral performances.
