Old Brown has to be wheeled around in an invalid chair by an attendant who is aware of the love affair between the two and aids them all he can. One day the old man catches George and Sally spooning. George and his sweetheart then resolve on a desperate plan to bring the father to terms; they bribe the attendant to quit the Job. George then disguises himself with a mustache and applies for the position, which he gets. This gives Sally and her lover a great deal of time together, as she always accompanies her father on his little rides. One morning George wheels the old man down to the water edge, where he leaves him reading a newspaper, while he and Sally seek a secluded spot to spoon. The tide rises upon the old man without his knowledge, but when he sees it, he roars for help. George takes advantage of this opportunity and rushes to him and, pulling off the false mustache, asks for his daughter's hand as a reward for getting him out of his predicament. The old man sternly refuses and George leaves him there to his fate and returns to Sally, who has been watching. The old man is getting deeper and deeper in the water on account of the rising tide and roars louder and louder. George again goes to his side. He again asks the old man for Sally, and to save himself, the father gives his consent. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
