Jim has been away for a long time. Marjie heard that he was returning from college and so dressed up for the occasion. Jim dons his cowboy outfit, however. The boys decided to give him a party. This was the inspiration of Chick, who tells his sweatheart Polly about it. Jim, in his exuberant spirits, kissed Polly and was seen by Chick. A riot follows and Chick was thrown into a corral with a vicious ram. - Moving Picture World, March 17, 1917
