A tallyho loaded with girls is en route through the country, and just as it is passing Vic's blacksmith shop the wheel of the tallyho hits the corner of the blacksmith shop and nearly knocks it to pieces. The tallyho stops and Vic and his helper rush out. The girls get down from the tallyho and Vic is confronted with his wish. Vivian, the leader of the party, immediately becomes infatuated with Vic's bashfulness, and before the party leaves Vivian invites Vic to call on her in the city. Vic and his helper, Sunday clothes and all, leave for the big city, and on arrival Vic makes for Professor Mush's School to take love lessons. After six tailor made lessons, he visits Vivian, only to get into all kinds of trouble with her mother. This leads Vic with his "faint heart" to decide to steal Vivian. It develops that Professor Mush is also in love with Vivian, and that he has been teaching Vic to make love to his own girl. He also decides to steal Vivian, and both armed with ladders start for her house. Needless to mention, many mishaps happen with the ladders, and in the finish we find Vic the winner. Written by
