Percy lords it over the husbandmen, and the city people make the pair the butt of many a joke. Percy and Dollie go boating and espy the farmers working on the shore. They concoct a little scheme and it works admirably. They pretend that the boat is sinking and shout for assistance. Hank and Ezra hear their cries and rush to the water's edge. Hank divests himself of his shoes and hat and swims to the boat only to be laughed at by the city lovers. He swims to the dock and vows vengeance after relating his humiliation to Ezra. A few days later Percy and Dollie go rowing again, and the boat springs a leak and is sinking fast. The occupants are frantic and their shouts are heard by Mrs. Vaughn. She rushes to the lake, sees their predicament and runs for assistance. Ezra and Hank are working and decline to contribute again to the enjoyment of the city people. The mother is frantic and appeals to Hank on her knees. He again plunges in and saves Percy and Dollie. Dollie sees the contrast between Percy and Hank and falls genuinely in love with Hank. The latter leads her up to a declaration of love and then shows her the picture of an actress, telling her it is a picture of his sweetheart. She is piqued and orders Percy to take her home. The closing scene is at the railroad station with the people from the city aboard the train, bound for home, and the young country youths evincing gratification at having gotten even with their visitors.
