Miss Meredith arrives at the farm and gets an idea that she would like to be a country girl. She borrows clothes from one of the maids and makes up like the farmhands. At the Lambs' Club, Paul Greshman sees an advertisement in the paper for summer boarders. He writes to John Middleton, Cowper Lake. He later calls on Mr. O'Neill, who tells him that he wants him to play leads in his production next season. Greshman arrives at the Middleton farm and is laughed at because of his clothes. He also gets an idea that he wants to dress like a farmer, so he borrows clothes and does work on the farm. Greshman goes with the farmhand and is watering the horses when Miss Meredith enters. Miss Meredith runs back and asks Mrs. Lang who the handsome farm lad is, but Mrs. Lang cannot tell. Greshman goes to Mr. Middleton and asks who the beautiful farm maid is. He is also ignorant. Miss Meredith visits the Middleton farm again and asks Greshman to come to the Lang farm for supper, which he does. O'Neill, looking up the addresses of his leads, finds that they have both gone to the same place, and leaves for the country to interview them. When Greshman sees O'Neill he runs away and Miss Meredith tells O'Neill that she is in love with a farmer. O'Neill tells Miss Meredith that he is Paul Greshman, the leading man who is going to play opposite her. She makes him promise he won't tell who she is and, when O'Neill introduces him as Paul Greshman, she tells him she loves actors, but is afraid he won't want to marry a poor country girl. He tells her he will marry her at once. Miss Meredith goes to her trunk, gets some wedding clothes and is married to Greshman. After the wedding O'Neill goes to Greshman and introduces Miss Meredith to him as his leading lady. After that, all is happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
