His daughter was stuck on Hector, one of those individuals, and Pop tore his photo all to pieces and told her never to see him again. Daughter thought differently, however, and tried to elope with Hector, but Pa caught them and chased Hank out of the house with a couple of Krupps. Pa then brought in Mr. Sweetgrass, a particular friend of his, and tried to shoo daughter on to him. Daughter acted coolly and Pa had about melted, but Mr. Sweetgrass was a slapper and he gave Pa a couple of slaps on the embonpoint. Daughter wished to save her father further slaps so she agreed to marry Mr. Sweetgrass. Meanwhile Hector wrote daughter and told her hang a rope out of her window and he would come and pull it as a signal to elope. How Mr. Sweetgrass and father got the note and how the best laid plans go wrong was never better illustrated than in this case. Father was pulled out the window by his great toe, Mr. Sweetgrass fell out a second story window, and father shot Hector in the excitement. Father imagined he was an assassin and tried to beat it in minister's clothing. Kidnappers got Pa mixed up with the minister. Hector and Pa and Mr. Sweetgrass all attacked one another from the rear, and no one got the girl. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
