It is the heartfelt desire of both dads to have the boy and girl marry. One day while the two old men are talking over their respective crops, they have a falling out and order their respective offsprings to have nothing to do with the other family. This break in the friendly relations came at the wrong time for the boy and the girl for they had just about completed arrangements to be married. They sneak off on every occasion to see each other and in these clandestine meetings finally decide to elope in spite of their dads. The boy's father orders him to hitch up the buckboard next day, as he intends to take a trip to town. The boy has made all his arrangements and, instead of coming back for the old man, hurries to the girl's house. The girl, too, is ready when he arrives and they set out for the station. The boy's father misses him and, in searching for him, sees his son and the girl in the buckboard speeding for the station. The girl's father has seen her departure and, getting his rig, sets out in pursuit. He meets his "enemy" and they join forces to catch the culprits. The elopers see they are about to be overtaken and catch a handcar at the track nearby. By a flying leap from the car they catch the outgoing train. But the old men take the handcar and, although the big dad almost breaks his neck pulling with the little dad on the other end, they make good speed. Luckily they manage to get an auto and the chances of catching the pair seem better. The road parallels the track and the elopers see their dads gaining on them. The boy makes a search of the train and digs up a minister who reluctantly agrees to marry them. All go out on the observation platform and the ceremony is performed in sight of the old couple who are frantically trying to catch up. At the next station the irate fathers arrive too late to take the couple to account for they are now man and wife. All start back in the auto and as the picture fades they decide to "bury the hatchet" and have peace in the family. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
