Old Man Norton does not approve of Jack visiting his daughter. One time he finds them together and drives Jack off the farm at the point of a shotgun. Jack tells his father that the girl's father threatened him with a gun. Old Man Carroll takes up his axe, and starts for the Norton house. Not finding Norton around he knocks on the door. Old Man Norton is upstairs and looks out of a window. Seeing who is banging on the door he throws a bucket of water on Old Man Carroll. In a few moments the two farmers are engaged in a rough and tumble fight. Jack sizes up the situation, runs and tells the girl that while the old men are fighting, it is their chance to slip away and get married. This is done and the two farmers are arrested by the constable. While taking them to the lock-up they are met on the road by the young couple. The men now see the humor of the situation and both forgive the children while the constable forgives the old men for fighting. Written by
