- Old Joshua Hardman, a grouchy farmer, refuses to fit up his place with any of the conveniences of life despite his wealth. Consequently his wife and daughter slave in the old-fashioned kitchen with old-fashioned utensils and the food is none too good. Joshua kicks and complains and, at last, a rebellion is started by Mandy, his daughter. She proposes to her mother that they move out and leave Joshua to himself. Mrs. Hardman, in desperation, agrees, and they leave the old farm while Joshua is off to church. Returning he is informed by the hands that dinner is not ready, stamps into the house to rage and fume and discovers the note telling him how matters stand. With bull-headed cussedness Joshua tries to prepare the dinner himself, makes an awful mess of things and causes a mutiny on the part of the hired men, who refuse absolutely to work until e gets his wife and daughter back. Realizing his predicament Joshua hitches up and locates them at the Widow Bradley's farm. He finds them happy and contented in a modern kitchen with modern utensils, and they refuse to return with him until he promises them a duplicate of the kitchen and anything else they may desire. The following Sunday morning it is a happy family indeed that graces the festive board on the old farm, for the kitchen is bright and shining with everything new and peace reigns supreme once more.—Moving Picture World synopsis
