But Dad resolved to cure her. Dad noticed Oswald Boomer, whom the decline of drama had left high and dry, as the latter was being ejected from a café. He asked Oswald to pose as the leader of the "Back to Nature" cult. A little of the axle grease of commerce sufficed to win Oswald over. So Oswald, Cissy, Willie and Cissy's father donned primitive clothes and took up their abode in a tent. The first night they found the beds of pine boughs hard, and they were annoyed by various noises. Cissy's father went out to take a shot at some dogs barking nearby, but succeeded in killing a cow, as he learned when the farmer showed up to collect damages. The farmer became quite threatening, but the day was saved when Willie Waffles plucked up his courage and thrashed the farmer. Then it was found that Oswald had been caught in a noose trap which he had set for bear the night before. With her idol shattered and Willie elevated in her eyes by his brave conduct, Cissy fell upon the neck of her faithful sweetheart. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
