The finish comes when Mayme telegraphs her mother that James has struck her. Mother is pretty handy with a six shooter but on the way to the station she picks up a bull whip and a stiletto. When she gets to her daughter's home she is a little uneasy, even though she has a bomb planted beside the steps, so she buys a yacht cannon. Mayme shows up and is mean enough to laugh at these warlike preparations. Mother does not know what her daughter is laughing at and drives her into the house. Then James comes home. He is delighted to see mother and "beats" Mayme for not telling him she was coming. The beating is done by slapping her on the wrist. When mother realizes she has taken Mayme's hysterical outbursts too seriously, she shoots the cannon after dear daughter and blows her out the back door. When Mayme returns she finds James and mother chatting on the steps. James lights a cigarette, but does not see that the lighted match drops beside the bomb. When the smoke clears away, mother and Mayme scramble to their feet, and mother decides to let Mayme fight her own battles. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
