Zeke probably would not have minded the parental wrath much, but further complications ensued. When a neat, polished drummer arrived in town from the city, Zeke's sweetheart Lizzie promptly displayed her perfidious feminine temperament by deserting her faithful admirer and languishing after the drummer. The crisis came when Jake the delivery boy, angered by the drummer's city mannerisms, painted the potent word "Whiskey" on the drummer's sample case. Zeke spotted the word, decided that vengeance had come into his hand, and seized it by rushing in the town constable's general direction with the laudable intention of giving his rival into the clutches of justice. Delaying Daley, a gentleman of more leisure than attainment, had remarked the sample case and appropriated it for his own use. When he saw Zeke seize it, however, he decided that he would certainly reap a satisfying reward if he caught this shameless thief. Accordingly he gave chase to Zeke. The storekeeper, his daughter, Jake, and the drummer, aroused by the excitement, followed. When the tramp finally caught Zeke, a combat of Homeric proportions commenced. Zeke and Daley, unable to make each other comprehend the probity of their purposes, "wrastled" and bit and tore like a couple of wild cats. While they were thus pleasantly engaged, the storekeeper-drummer contingent arrived and covered the hill below the contestants with the contents of the suitcase flypaper. What happened when Zeke and the tramp started to roll down the hill is too terrible to relate. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
