Fishley discovers them together one morning and angrily orders Steppling to cease his attentions. Steppling tells his troubles to his friend Calvert, and waits an opportunity to get even with Fishley. It comes when the old man dons his fishing togs and hikes down to the brook to catch a few live ones. Tacking a sign lettered "No Fishing Allowed" to a nearby tree, Steppling disguises as a constable and Calvert rigs up as a tramp. Each now secures a string of fish, then Steppling interrupts old Fishley in his fishing and starts to place him under arrest. In the excitement Fishley falls in the brook, scrambles out and takes wildly to his heels. Removing his disguise Steppling hastens after him and finds him buying Calvert's string of fish. Old Fishley is now given the surprise of his life when Calvert removes his disguise, but Steppling agrees to keep it a secret if Fishley will allow him to court Dolores. Fishley agrees; they present him with both strings of fish and he is telling the greatest fish story on record at the hotel when Steppling's former sweetheart exposes the whole scheme by telling she saw the boys giving Fishley the fish. Therefore all parties are stung. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
