A family takes in a new border (a very young Charley Chase). He soon falls in love with their daughter but the parents aren't at all pleased--Dad's already picked out a man for the girl to marry. What is the young couple to do? Yes, elope. However, Dad (Chester Conklin) isn't about to let this happen and he stops them in their tracks. What is Charley to do? Well, tune in to this one and see for yourself.
Aside from seeing an early Charley Chase film, this is an otherwise adequate early Mack Sennett film. While it has a few funny moments, it's not exactly a standout film one way or the other. My recommendation is that if you are a die-hard silent fan, give it a try--otherwise there are better films from this same era that are more entertaining.
