Luke is in love with his daughter, Nell, and asks for her hand, but shies at the sight of bombs. Knowing his trepidation, the Professor decides to test his courage, which he does in his own parlor with a bomb. Thereupon Luke determines to get even and goes after the Professor in divers ways. He disguises himself and comes in the presence of the Professor lighting a cigarette with a stick of dynamite. The Professor runs for his life, but his path is blocked by a lady Nihilist waving a butcher-knife. The Professor is next captured and bound to a tree and a bomb is placed at his feet. He is nearly wild from suspense, when help arrives in the form of Luke, who fearlessly seizes the bomb and throws it into the woods. It falls near a tramp, who picks it up, examines it carefully, and then breaks it against a rock. It turns out to be a coconut, and the hungry "bum" eats the contents with gusto. Luke, who is ingenious, was the man with the bomb, and later naturally captures the Professor's daughter, who assisted him as the Nihilistic lady. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
