Hezekiah runs crying to his father, a blacksmith, who determines at once to call upon the domineering teacher and give her a piece of his mind. He comes to the school. To paraphrase Mr. J. Caesar, "he came, he saw, he was conquered." As the days go by, Smithers, Sr. confides to himself that he is falling in love with Miss Parker. Meantime, in the school-room, Miss Parker is diligently and delicately attempting to make something of her unpromising pupil. The boy is just foolish enough to misconstrue interest and determination for attention and affection, and he falls desperately in love with the little school mistress. Father and son proceed to love her. One Sunday afternoon, it comes to pass that father and son don their joy clothes, with the heroic determination to call on the teacher and press their suits, which, of course, they should have done in advance. Both covertly and curiously observe the other in his tonsorial efforts with a little wonder and a little "professional jealousy," and their labors at last at an end, unknown to each other, they set out to capture the unanimous prize. They meet each other, and their downfall, at the teacher's home. Amazed and amused at the twin proposal, she solves the dilemma of a decision by introducing her sweetheart to the panic-stricken Rummy-oes. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
