Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Jed has the only automobile in the town and while it is not a 1915 model it is just as good as one to his sweetheart. But when the city drummer comes along in his high-power racer, the troubles of Jed begin. The girl’s father is impressed with the drummer and urges her to take him as her suitor, but she proves faithful to Jed, and they plan a little elopement. But Jed places the ladder against the grocer’s window instead of that of his daughter and trouble results. It’s a mad chase to a minister’s in which the fleeing couple win out.
