Jack invents a stunt whereby the winner is to win Tillie. Part of it is to be blindfolded. Jim is blindfolded and holds his own balance successfully but Jack manages to fall into a fountain. Tillie and Jim try to elope while mother is extricating Jack from the fountain but without success. Jim tries to get revenge on Jack by painting a sign., reading, "$25.00 Fine for going in Water." An officer appears on the scene and demands that Jack pay the fine. Jim takes a hand in the argument and he too falls in the water. The officer demands a fine of him. Not getting it, he "takes in" both Jack and Jim and poor Tillie is left to sit in solitary state with only her mother for company. Written by
