Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? “Sally in Our Alley” is the simple love story of Billy, an apprentice, and Sally, the darling of his heart, who “lives in our alley” in a quaint old-fashioned English village. “Her father, he makes cabbage nets, her mother, she sells laces long,” and the bumble parents are more than delighted when rich old Mr. Bumbleton asks for Sally’s hand. Against her protests, they insist on her marriage. But Sally has a will of her own, and she slyly arranges with Billy, her lover, to fool the old folks. One night she signals to Billy, with a candle, from her bedroom window, that old Bumbleton is downstairs making final arrangements for the marriage. Billy proves himself daring and resourceful. Right under Bumbleton’s nose he takes Sally from the upper window, carries her off and marries her, and their life together is a happy one indeed.
