Henry, the farm Adonis, is an immediate captive to Cora's charms, and begins to pay unusual attention to his dress. Also feeling the need of more knowledge on the art of making love, he applies himself assiduously to the study of a pamphlet entitled, "The Art of Love." Believing that practice makes perfect, he improves himself by frequent impassioned addresses to imaginary sweethearts. But another rival enters the field. Little Adolph succumbs to the charmer and the microbe acts upon him just as in the case of Henry. The rivalry becomes furious and acrimonious, and the farmer friends become enemies for the time being. Mr. Smithers arrives just in time to prevent active hostilities. Henry, feeling the necessity of getting his rival out of the way, adopts several clever schemes tending to that end, but Adolph bobs up serenely each time. Finally the farm house gets on fire and each swain is seized with the same idea, that of rescuing the fair Cora from the flames. How the thing finally turned out is one of the best things in the story. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
