The deacon, rival with the farmer for the widow's hand, sees a chance to put his rival out of the running. He takes a pie and a bottle of chloroform to the farmer's room and when the rival lover enters, he puts him to sleep and rubs pie all over his face. In the process of making the farmer out as the pie stealer, the deacon drops his watch which is picked up by a tramp hiding under the bed. The farmer is convicted and put into prison. The tramp is sent to prison, too. He recognizes the farmer, who knows nothing about why he has thus been rudely cast behind the bars, and divulges the deacon's plot. The farmer and the tramp are released and hasten to the widow's house, where they arrive just in time to break up a happy little wedding party. The watch proves the tramp's tale, and the farmer and the deacon exchange places. Written by
