His sweetheart, Cissy, lives on the adjoining farm; she is eager to acquire an education, so her parents send her to a nearby city school. Things seem to be different when Cissy returns on her first vacation. Accompanying her is the Rev. James Andrews, whose willingness to help his bright little neighbor results in an arrangement to spend his vacation with Cissy's parents. Cissy is changed now. Cy in his clumsy way tries to continue his courtship, but every time he approaches the girl she is with the city chap. Cy gets desperate when the minister and Cissy start for a ride and Cissy hints that "three is a crowd." Cy slips in the back of the buggy, where he remains undiscovered until they ford a creek. The buggy sticks and Cissy discovers Cy clinging to the back. The horse starts suddenly and Cy is left sprawling in the creek. He scrambles ashore and determines that he will give Cissy the supreme test. He attires himself in a new snit and hat of "advanced style." Cissy refrains from laughing outright and adjusts his tie. Cy detects Cissy's ill-concealed merriment and tears off his tie, casting it at her feet and leaving in a blaze of anger. He determines to bring matters to a head and procures a marriage license. But he has delayed too long. Cissy's vacation is over and he sees her disappearing down the road in the buggy headed for the station with the clergyman. This is the last straw. He'll fix the city chap for stealing his girl, Cy sells his pony, packs his telescope, slips his battered revolver into his pocket and boards the train for the city. His comic rage has not diminished when the Rev. Andrew's butler leaves him in the study while he goes to find the clergyman. Cy conceals himself behind a screen and with drawn revolver awaits the clergyman's coming. But when the athletic young divine enters, Cy loses his nerve. He cannot bring himself to fire. The clergyman tears away the screen to stand face to face with the shivering country man. The servant enters to announce Cissy's visit and James asks him to detain Cissy while he engineers a plan. He forces Cy into his own room and with a show of severity commands him to put on a decent suit. When the change is made Cissy is ushered in. The young minister asks her if she is willing to marry the unhappy Cy and the girl nods a shy "yes." When the clergyman returns with the servants for witness he finds Cy and Cissy, embarrassed, but reconciled, ready for the ceremony. Cy produces the license and the clergyman begins the words that make them one. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
