Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dan Wellington objects to his daughter’s marriage with Richard Darlington. The father finds the letter in the arms of his daughter and puts him out of the house. The much abused lover is followed out of the house by his sweetheart and maid. The latter conceives a brilliant idea whereby the lover is to assume the disguise of a tramp and rescue the sweetheart from being ground beneath the wheels of an automobile. While the plot is being consummated on one side of a hedge fence, two tramps are asleep on the other side. The excited voices awaken them and while the maid recites the proposed plan the tramps are working on one of their own. After leaving the two girls to go in search of a costume, Darlington is overpowered by the two tramps and hustled off to a lonely hut where he is detained. One of the tramps plans to go in Darlington’s stead and do the hero work. Better see the film to cap the climax.
