He leaves his old father and his sweetheart, and arriving in the big city is stopped by a stranger, who says that for $50 he will purchase for him a half interest in the Brooklyn Bridge. Having been warned of such people, the farmer lad goes on his way. He is taken in, however, by a very attractive girl, who agrees to show him the city and be his friend. She takes him home, and while telling bis life's history they are interrupted by the maid who brings in a bundle from a department store marked C.O.D. for $50. Explaining that she is short of money she asks him to lend her fifty. A little later another package comes C.O.D. for $100. He feels uneasy, but before he is able to leave he hears a man's voice. His new friend explains that it is her jealous husband, and then locks him in a closet. Scared to death, he is told that if he gives up $500, he will be left alone by the husband. He gladly agrees, leaves the house by a window and starts back to the farm. His sweetheart appears, tickling the sleeping lad with a twig, and he wakes to find that it was all a dream and that his money is still in his pocket. He decides that farm life is far better than the chances of a large city for a farmer lad. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
