Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Dave is invited to the Sunday-school basket picnic and calls for his girl on the way out, but in the schoolyard he meets his hated rival, a well-dressed chap, who is quite attractive to the village maidens. Dave excels in one thing over the well-dressed chap, pugilistic qualifications, which he makes use of in whipping his rival, but by so doing he disgraces himself before the pastor and pupils of the school. Later on, however, Dave is given a chance to prove himself a hero in the eyes of all.
