Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 8 December 1917, page ?] Father and daughter have their respective love affairs, and father, while opposing daughter’s choice of a lover, is found out to be considerable of a sport among the feminine kind. To gain entrée to the home of his sweetheart, the daughter’s lover disguises as a woman, wins the admiration of the father, and is about to elope with the girl when the plot is discovered. Finally, after considerable amusing horse play all parties are caught in a “young cyclone” in the midst of which the most surprising near-accidents occur following each other in rapid action. There are various other clever touches throughout the picture that are bound to bring laughs, such as the using of a Ford car in pushing a sightseeing bus up-hill, and the spilling off the back of the bus of all the passengers. A strange, wonderful manipulation of a bed is another amusing feature.
