As described in a film magazine review,[3] Slim Swasey of Rome, Missouri, is the guardian of Tinkle, a six year old girl deserted by some member of a traveling show. During Fair Week balloonist Madame Le Grande arrives. Isadore Kelly and 'Sure Thing' Sherman are crooks and plan to rob the town bank. When the balloon ascends in a sudden flight, Tinkle is its only passenger, but Slim rushes to the rescue with some acrobatic stunts. Later, Slim foils the scheme of the crooks and wins the affections of Ollie Remus, the young woman that he loves. Madame Le Grande turns out to be Tinkle's mother.
Constance Wilson was the sister of actress Lois Wilson.
A print of Fair Week survives in the Gosfilmofond archive.[4]
