They outfit her in a "rube" costume, and she is seen thus by Jimmy, an author who has gone to the country to get local color for his forthcoming book, "Heart Throbs of a Country Girl." Jimmy's jealousy has been aroused by seeing his sweetheart in conversation with a young bachelor, and to get material for his book he decides to make love to the supposed country lass. Divining his intentions, Margaret continues to play the part, but when he is about to desert her after having won a promise of marriage she decides to teach him a lesson. Mr. Shillingford, dressed as a country yokel, poses as her brother, and at shotgun-point forces Jimmy to stand while an obliging friend performs a fake wedding. Jimmy's chagrin is increased when he discovers that his sweetheart has arrived at the country town, and he refrains from breaking the disturbing news to her for fear of breaking her heart. But he soon discovers that she has married his bachelor friend and is on her honeymoon. After Jimmy goes to the hotel, Margaret dresses in her usual clothes, and when he sees the transformation he is glad that he married her. He is informed, however, that they aren't really married, and the decides to have a real ceremony. Written by Moving Picture World, November 3, 1917 See less
