An interview follows, and she becomes engaged to Bob. While Bob is telling his father of this, Tomboy assaults them with a bean-shooter. She gets her father, a near-sighted minister, to try a shot, and he, innocently taking the bean-shooter, is promptly accused by the Whitmans of making the assault. A scene between the parents follows, the engagement is broken, and Tomboy is packed off to boarding school. Her pranks at school are equally edifying. She decorates one girl's face with burnt cork, and with the aid of pepper she sets the entire class and the principal sneezing. Finally she is sent to her room in disgrace. But Bob has not been idle, and he sends Tomboy a note, planning an elopement. The following night he comes to the boarding school, with an automobile and a ladder. He is to throw a pebble against Tomboy's window. He throws it against the principal's window. When Bob does notify Tomboy, and they are ready to elope, the principal and a fat cook appear, and Tomboy is led ignominiously back to her room. A period of despair is followed by a brilliant idea of Bob's. If he could get the cook's dress, and Tomboy were to don the chauffeur's uniform, the elopement could be carried out successfully. Back go Bob and the chauffeur to the cook's room. She is overcome, then bribed. Bob gets the dress, the cook takes the chauffeur's clothes to Tomboy, and the chauffeur years Bob's suit. Thus arrayed, Tomboy and Bob walk boldly out, under the very nose of the deceived principal. And now it is Tomboy's turn for an idea. They drive to her father's house. The alleged little chauffeur and big fat woman present themselves before the nearsighted minister, and ask him to marry them. He is rather surprised at the disparity of the pair, but consents to perform the ceremony. Bob's father is summoned from nest door, to act as a witness. The marriage takes place. When the identity of the couple is revealed, bewilderment and consternation on the part of the parents melt into admiration. Tomboy has won her happiness, which begins for her and Bob by their receiving the blessings of both fathers. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
