Finally Arabella settles things by accepting Zeke. Hiram is bitterly sore. Zeke and Arabella start to hitch up to drive to the parson's. At this point, Arabella is handed a letter by the postmaster to deliver to Hi. Overcome by curiosity, Arabella manages to read it. It reveals to her the fact that Hi has inherited a large sum of money, which will be forwarded in a few days. She tears the letter up and returns to Hi, showering him with affections. Poor Zeke is left in the cold. Arabella rushes Hi to the parson's, where they are married. Now Arabella has a maid-of-all-work named Tillie. Tillie has long and secretly loved Zeke. She is delighted with the present turn of affairs, but Zeke, broken-hearted, still refuses to pay her attention. During the wedding dinner, Arabella hears Zeke's familiar whistle. It haunts her. She goes to him and endeavors to soothe him. Hi witnesses the act. He misunderstands, and enraged, he sends Zeke about his business, starting an argument with his bride. She turns on him furiously. Her remarks cut him deep, and he determines to drown himself. Hi goes down to the river. To scare Arabella, he leaves his hat and coat on the bank and hides in the barn loft. Arabella is terribly upset when she receives word of the supposed death of her groom. Zeke, on the contrary, is overjoyed. He finds Arabella grieving in the barn. He endeavors to renew his suit for her hand. Hi is a very interested listener in the loft above. Hi's inheritance comes. It is brought to Arabella in the barn. Hi is flabbergasted when he overhears the conversation. And when he hears Zeke trying to persuade Arabella to forget the "poor dub," take his money and marry him (Zeke) it is more than Hi can stand. He alights into the situation like a thunderbolt and certainly routs Zeke. Arabella is hysterical with joy. Zeke now decides that Tillie is the girl for him, anyhow, and the four of them leave for the parson's. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
