His nephew, Tom, introduces Jones to Gloria. The tailor promptly proposes to her. In a spirit of fun, Gloria informs Jones that the man she weds must woo her as the knights of old wooed their sweethearts. Invited to a lawn party given in honor of Gloria, Jones gets into all kinds of trouble. Matters come to a climax when he upsets Gloria and her aunt, Mrs. Hubbard, into a pond. The irate guests heave Jones into the water and he is compelled to flee for his life. Exhausted by the exercise, Jones sits down to rest. Falling asleep, he dreams of an Apache dance which he had seen in a vaudeville performance a night or two previous. The idea which smites the tailor wakes him up. He decides to woo Gloria as the Apache wooed his sweetheart. Stealing back, Jones sees Gloria seated on the veranda. Grabbing her by the hair, he tosses the amazed widow about. Gloria however, gives Jones the surprise of his life. Turning upon the love-smitten tailor, she hits him so hard, and so often, that poor Jones believes it is raining fists. Attracted by the sound of the ruction, the guests hasten to the scene. They fall upon the luckless tailor. The police arrive just in time to save his life. Once in the clutches of the limbs of the law, Jones heaves a sigh of relief until he discovers that he is being taken to the lunatic asylum. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
