Plot

edit

This plot summary was published in The Moving Picture World for November 25, 1916.[2]

The old comedy idea of the mother who wants her daughter to marry a count is used in this reel. Babe Hardy is seen as the favored suitor of the daughter. Kate Price is the mother and Raymond McKee the count. It is the fast knockabout work of these three that lends what comedy there is to the film. It is the Count who gets the warm reception, being received by Babe masquerading as the mother.
