He notices her in the audience and is also smitten with the love germ. The two meet later and confess their love. Her father, however, has other plans for his daughter's future. He wishes her to marry the owner of a large pie factory. Lillian is so disgusted when father's choice presents her with what he considers the highest token of regard, an immense pie, she throws it out the window and it alights upon the upturned face of papa. The result is, the band leader is blamed and boycotted. Then the band leader and Lillian decide to elope. During an attack on the band by some of the pie factory employees. Wally and the girl escape, are seen and pursued by the piemen. While the terrific chase is on, Wally and the girl enter a barn and discover a large bomb. He takes it with him, and the two reach the Justice of the Peace ahead of their pursuers. The ceremony starts at once, and Wally, remembering the bomb under his arm, throws it away just in time. The explosion sets the place afire, the police, their pursuers and the firemen arrive and amidst the wild excitement, streams of water and flying missiles, the band leader and his sweetheart stand calmly side by side until they are pronounced man and wife. Then the ambulance arrives and carries off the injured and the half-drowned Justice, while the groom expresses his joy by kissing the fair Lillian. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
