Pearl flirts with several young men and is each time seen by the professor. Some of her young men come to the house and annoy the professor by whistling in the garden. He runs out on one occasion and beats one of them with a club. This, however, does not stop the nuisance, so he determines to try hypnotism as a cure. He writes a letter to his friend, Mr. Cusick, that he will give his daughter treatment, and she discovers the letter. When he gives her this treatment she pretends to be affected by it, and says that she hates all men. Mr. Cusick calls, and on speaking to Pearl has his hair pulled as part of her hatred to the opposite sex. Meanwhile, Chester, the beau she likes best, calls on the professor to be treated for bashfulness, and the professor, after giving him treatment, tells him he will be bold.
