Buying farms in the country is a much more congenial occupation than laboring over a desk in the sultry atmosphere of the crowded city. Unable to get his boss to give him a vacation, Harold decides to be overcome by the heat and thus obtain the desired rest. In Pumpkinsville he announces his intention to buy a farm, and all the neighborhood real-estate owners flock around to offer him their wares. The one who had sense enough to bring his comely daughter along wins the first point when Harold consents to spend a week at his home to enable him to thoroughly inspect the property. Just as he is having a glorious old time, the boss comes along in his auto, and Harold's vacation abruptly ends.
