Perk Cherry, proprietor of the village barrel shop, reads in the newspaper of the widow's income, and decides that this is the chance for a handsome bachelor. Procuring a bouquet of flowers, he proceeds to call on the dusky widow. Shortly after his arrival, another guest, in the person of Roost Sweet, the village swell, puts in an appearance. Perk believing he has no chance against the swell, takes his departure. Arriving at the barber shop, he writes a note to Roost, asking him to cease his attentions to the widow, and stating he will sell his complete emporium for $30. This looks good to Roost. He borrows $30 from the widow and buys the barber shop. The next day, when calling on the widow, and during her absence from the room. Roost reads the will and finds that the widow is cut off if she marries again. As soon as an opportunity presents itself, Roost goes back to his barber shop, and writes to the widow, canceling their engagement. This angers the young woman, who calls on Roost and makes things a trifle lively for him. Perk calls on the widow, and between them they scheme to get the best of Roost. The widow furnishes the money to purchase a barber shop outfit. She fits up her parlor and enters into a partnership with Perk, while Roost waits in vain for customers.
