For coolness arrays himself in Highland costume, kilts, bonnet, philibeg, et al. Not forgetting a bottle of "Mountain Dew." Fine Fishing, But: Sandy finds a good spot, proceeds to action. Mosquitoes find Sandy, his bare legs a harvest. Sandy fights them. Gets hopping mad. Does a Highland-fling. The Bad Boys: Two country lads discover Sandy. They "don't do a thing to him." Imagine a wrathy, fiery Scot trying to fish. Fight mosquitoes, "cuss" in choice Gaelic, and attend to two mischievous boys, at the same time. The Sleeping Beauty: In an adjoining field the boys come across a Rube asleep. His boots removed to rest his feet. The plot thickens. Boys take the boots. Return to torment Sandy. A Big Haul: Boys throw stones. Sandy chases. Boys dodge back, fasten a boot to Sandy's line and throw overboard. Sandy returns warmed up. Warms some more hauling in his "Prize." A Perplexed Scot: Sandy lands the boot. Is dumbfounded. Has a happy idea. Puts boot on to protect leg from mosquitoes. Starts to fish for the other. Boys delighted. Invent more mischief. Sandy Overboard: Sandy locates boys. Another chase. They escape again, dump Sandy's basket into the water. Sandy goes in also. They meet the Rube, put him wise. He goes for help. Bovs delighted. The Town Constable: Rube returns with Constable. They descend upon Sandy. As he emerges from bath. Explanations useless. "Caught with the goods." Off to the "cooler." "To the Victors the Spoils:" Boys watch Sandy's departure, then have the time of their lives. Fish with Sandy's pole, get fish. Eat his lunch, and wind up with an imitation of Sandy's Highland fling.
