The salesmen who are pushing his own business can hardly get to explain to him before he turns them down. Upon his way home he meets a minister, who speaks to him and produces a charitable subscription paper, which Mr. Anti glares at and thrusts back at him in disconcerting fashion. He is accosted by a beggar, and stops long enough to deliver him a lecture, but no money. He meets a newsboy with papers, borrows one long enough to read the headlines, and hands it back to the boy without reimbursing him. He steps between a couple of men smoking cigarettes and addresses them reprovingly. They are about to resent his suggestions, when he makes a run for a car, then they laugh at him as a crank. Of course, he has his troubles on the street car, being obliged to stand up, which fact he blames on the conductor, who finally plunks him into a vacant seat. When he reaches home he finds his daughter and her sweetheart waiting to get his answer in a very important matter, but he turns them down and paces up and down his room in high dudgeon. The lover is undiscouraged and arranges to elope with the daughter. The daughter later advises her father of this fact by telegram, asking him to come to the minister's house at once, as something important is going to happen. Mr. Anti has his curiosity piqued and his temper aroused in an equal measure, and follows the directions in the telegram. He arrives a little bit too late, as his daughter is married. He roars frantically and disinherits her. Seven years elapse and Anti is still storming at everything. One day he is driving his auto through the streets, when he runs over his own granddaughter, little Laura. She is not seriously injured, so he gets out and lectures her. In a hysterical sort of way she throws her arms around his neck, and he cannot disengage her; strangely enough, he tries to pacify her. The long forgotten touch of the little child seems to work an instantaneous change in the nature of the flinty-hearted man. He goes to the playground with little Laura, enters their games, and soon grows quite wholesomely human. He gives a liberal check for other playgrounds. Eventually the little child brings him to her own home; he recognizes the mother he has disinherited, and all ends well. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
