- Clessie Cummins: Hoosier Inventor details the life of a Hoosier farm boy with a knack for innovation. The father of the American diesel truck engine, Cummins combined elbow grease, a keen mind, and rural pragmatism to co-found what became Cummins, Inc., a Fortune 500 international diesel and alternative fuel engines company headquartered in Columbus, Indiana. Through a series of hardships and achievements, Cummins never stopped asking "what if?" His formal education ended in the eighth grade, but he never stopped experimenting due to his inexhaustible sense of wonder.

In Clessie Cummins: Hoosier Inventor, discover the story of this determined inventor, salesman, entrepreneur, and friend.

- The picture opens up with a home of a farmer showing his son who is busily exercising to develop his muscles. The father shows by his attitude that he is very proud of his boy, but something happens to disturb his pleasure as the Loan Shark, who holds a mortgage on the farmer's home, comes and demands payment. At the time the farmer did not have the money ready to meet the mortgage, and tells the miser this. The mortgagee goes away with the threat that if the mortgage is not paid up at a certain time he win throw them out of their home. The boy overbears this conversation and goes to the Shark's office to try and have the time extended, but the man will not listen to it. The boy goes away, and next we find him in front of a theater where an announcement is displayed reading, "Spider-Duffy, Champion Pugilist of the World, will forfeit $2.000.00 to anyone who can remain in the ring with him three rounds." The farmer boy sees his opportunity. Summoning up his courage, he tells the manager of the prize fighter that he thinks he can withstand being knocked out until three rounds are over. They look at this uncouth youth and see an easy mark for the champion. The country lad, however, knows that everything is at stake, for if he can remain the three rounds he will get the $2,000.00, and thereby pay off the mortgage and save the home. The seconds, referee and the champion enter the ring, and the Hoosier fighter is brought forth to face the champion prize fighter of the world. (We next show three rounds of a cleverly executed prize fight, and the participants in this affray are boxers of the highest order) and at the second round the champion lands on the jaw of the Hoosier fighter and he goes down. The referee starts to count and he gets up to six. The country lad, in his delirium from the effects of the blow, imagines he sees the farm being sold and his father turned into the streets, a pauper in the world. He gathers himself together, and as the referee counts nine he is again ready to continue the contest. The third round is fast and furious, and as the country lad blocks a vicious right hand blow he sidesteps and whips over a left-hand swing which lands on the jaw of the champion. He goes down like a log, and though the referee plainly tries to prolong the count by stalling, it does no good, as the man is completely knocked out and would not have been able to get up in five minutes. The forfeit money is then turned over to the boy and he leaves amid the cheers of the spectators, but is not to get away so easily with the spoils, as the seconds of the champion are seen to plot to rob him of the money. We next see him coming down a dark street with the three toughs following him; they pounce on him, but they have reckoned without their host, as the country boy is no longer a rube and the fight has made a man of steel of him. The way he tumbles the three seconds is a pleasure to an honest man's eyes. After putting away his spoils he quickly speeds on his journey, so as to get home in time to meet the man who intends to throw his father out of their home. He sees three men moving the furniture from the house and quickly pays off the mortgage, grabs the constables by the neck and roughly throws them into the street.
- This is a goofy story of what happens when two low grade private investigators find themselves in the middle of a case that is much more high stakes and dangerous than they are prepared to handle.
- The story is laid in 1831 in rural Indiana, then the western frontier of the United States. Ralph Hartsook drifts into Flat Creek District and before he leaves he demonstrates that "l'arnin'" is a keener-edged tool than "lickin." Before the arrival of the schoolmaster in Flat Creek, Hannah Thompson, a girl educated beyond her surroundings, sensitive and of a retiring disposition, had been bound out as a servant in the Means household. She becomes a drudge and a slave because she is not made of the stuff necessary to combat the brutality of the Means. Under the soiled clothes of the bound girl Ralph sees the "Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls." Strong as her aversion is to education, Mrs. Means does not object to taking it into the family and she plans that Ralph marry her daughter. Where Ignorance errs Vanity is wise. She detests Ralph as a schoolmaster, but would boast of him as a son-in-law. The situation of Sis Means, egged on by her mother, playing for the favor of Ralph, and Ralph, his heart burning up for love of the bound girl, doing his best to maintain peace with the Means, gives rise to a sequence of the richest comedy. From the day of his arrival the schoolmaster is looked upon as the natural enemy of the Flat Creek people. Bud Means is the champion schoolmaster-hater. He is six feet two inches tall and has "licked" every unfortunate schoolmaster who has ventured into the district. Although rumors of the past and threats for the future bear him down, Ralph decides to stay and organize his "Church of the Licks." When his pupils fail in their attempt to drive the schoolmaster out of the district the patriarchs undertake the job under the leadership of Pete Jones, a politician with influence in the community. The responsibility of a grave crime is fastened upon Ralph. Crowds gather and public sentiment runs high. Bud Means joined the "Church of the Best Licks" at the last moment and Pete Jones, by an unexpected turn of events, at his trial is branded as the guilty party. Shocky, Hannah's brother, is remembered in the end.
