One is Farmer Jones, and the other is Hank, her hired man. To decide between the two she set them to work digging the well, promising to marry the one who first strikes water. They dig like mad. Matilda, the widow's maid-of-all-work, is deadly in love with Hank, the hired man. She schemes so that Jones shall be honored with the water's discovery. Meantime the widow meets the deacon, he proposes and they hie themselves to the village and are married. Jones supposedly finds water first and rushes in search of the widow to claim her hand. Hank, disconsolate, will not heed the love avowal of Matilda, preferring to remain at the bottom of the well. Matilda leaves. Hank climbs out and, filled with jealousy, shovels the dirt back into the well. Jones discovers that he has been deceived, that the widow has double-crossed him. Matilda returns to find the well filled with dirt. She imagines that the walls caved in and that Hank is at the bottom. Wild with excitement, she calls out the villagers; they all join in the work of digging the well over again. But Hank is not found at the bottom. He is found back of the barn filled with joy and a flask in his hand. As punishment he is made to marry Matilda. All are happy in the end but Farmer Jones. He goes to Nancy for comfort. Nancy is a donkey. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
