George decides to go home for a visit and invites Harry, his chum, to accompany him, but commands Harry to taboo the sporty clothes and be introduced to his father as a minister's son. Harry agrees and dons a ministerial appearing suit. Father is so pleased with the sanctified appearance of his son's chum that he almost forgives George's bad record at school. An unlooked-for element, however, crops up in the form of George's sister, whose reading of novels has inflamed her mind with a longing for a masterful and powerful lover. Harry apparently being anything but that type, fails to excite any interest at all. Shortly after the boys arrive, the neighborhood is startled to learn of a wild man being at large in the vicinity. Billie, George's sister, at once proclaims that she could love a man like that. This gives the boys an idea. Harry is to disguise as a wild man, capture Billie by rough means and cure her of her wild desires. Harry disguises in skins and a beard and capturing the unfortunate Billie, forces her to prepare and cook a meal for him. Later her brother, disguised as a wild man and holding her in servitude, is worsted and beaten by Harry. Billie is carried away by Harry. She acknowledges him a hero. The next day Billie discovers the skins and beard and sees she has been duped. About this time, the real wild man having been shot at by an old farmer is skulking in the vicinity of Billie's home. As she comes away angry, the real wild man pounces and attempts to force her to go with him. She, thinking it was another bluff, resists. Harry, who is discouraged with his failure, decides to return to his own home. As he is leaving he sees Billie struggling with the wild man. He rescues her and is thereafter a real hero.
