He learns that laborers are needed on a certain farm and as he journeys into the country he rescues a young woman whose horse is running away. When Clark applies for work he is treated lightly by Bud, the foreman, until the owner of the farm arrives with his daughter, Anna, who recognizes her hero of the afternoon. A few days later at the dinner table Clark defends Polly, a maid, when she is annoyed by Bud and after the hands departed for the fields the two men settle their score in a fight, the bully receiving a severe lesson. Polly overhears Bud declaring that he will be revenged but she is unable to warn Clark. Later in the day the bully tries to force Clark into the hopper of the threshing machine but Anna sees the struggle from a distance and stops the engine. Polly informs Anna's father of Bud's treachery and the bully is discharged. Clark and Anna find that they are very much in love and all goes smoothly until the author receives a suspicious photograph. He returns to his home but memories of the southern girl cause him to again visit the farm where explanations are made. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
