"Jasper Brown is an old-fashioned farmer who works his children to death. His Neighbor, Joseph Miller, is progressive with a happy wife and daughter. Brown's son John, who has a genius for invention and electricity, runs away from home to get a scientific education, but Mary, his frail daughter, plods on until, one day, she collapses, with serious consequences. An X-ray of her brother's saves her life. Brown is converted to modern science, and gives his blessing to the marriage of his son with Rita, the daughter of his up-to-date neighbor." - Reel Life, Aust 15, 1914 "The relation of modernized methods, especially those in which electricity figures, to those of the old days when every little duty about the farm was performed by hand, forms the theme of this pleasing comedy drama." - Motography, Aust 22, 1914
The original working title was "Converting Dad". - Chicago Historical Museum's Freuler Manuscripts
Not to be confused with the three reel Mustang comedy of the following year.
