At the boarding house, he is always studying, and he leads a sorry life of it, especially after the boys discover that he has written a book about the new Chinese Republic. They hire a Chinese laundryman to dress up in swell Chinese robes and present Homer with a scroll setting forth the appreciation of the Chinese people for the new book. Jennie, who secretly is very fond of Homer, uncovers the deception. Homer vows revenge and decides to take up physical culture. When Home has completed his course he visits the Chinaman and prevails upon him to accompany him. He locks all the students into a room and commences to use some of his acquired muscle, specially upon the bully who was the instigator of the plotting against him. Then he brings forth the Chinaman and has him present a scroll to the bully. Jennie is overjoyed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
