One day he and his son are putting hay in the barn when a stone jug falls on his head, depriving him of his memory. He has forbidden his son to speak to the girl he loves because her father holds the note in question. The note falls due but the old man cannot recall where he placed the money. Ethel, the girl, clandestinely calls on the boy and as they are seated in the parlor the teakettle boils over. In trying to lift it from the stove, Ethel accidentally displaces a brick, revealing the hiding place of the money. The father's memory returns; he pays the note and consents to the union of the boy and girl. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
