Ray, her beau, also looks forward to her return. But Billie, while in the city, has brushed against "higher culture," and Ray grates on her sensitive nature. Ray tries his best to win back the love of the girl, but she resists all his advances and tells him that in the city everybody rides around in autos. Ray has the courage of his convictions and, scraping together all available funds, he goes to the city and buys the best bargain he can for the money, but the machine is erratic. Sometimes it goes like the wind, and then suddenly stalls, but finally Ray arrives home safely. In the city Billie has met Neal and they have enjoyed several evenings together, so when she receives a letter from him stating if convenient he would be glad to spend Sunday with her, she is delighted and tells her parents of the city man. They do not like the city man any too much, as they are prejudiced against his kind and do all they can to help Ray's suit along, Ray arrives in the one cylinder machine to take Billie out, and she, in a moment of fun, dresses in overalls, with the statement they may have to get out and get under. They do. While tinkering with the machine, Neal comes by in his "big six," and Billie, recognizing him, stops him. She gets in with Neal and they start to tow Ray back home, but he is dropped when near home and they never miss him. Neal does not make a good impression on the old folks, but, nevertheless, he proves so attractive to Billie that she promises to elope with him later. Ray gets possession of the note and determines to checkmate the city "feller." Hiding nearby, he sees Neal go for the minister, and, rushing up, he takes the girl and sets out in the car. Neal chases them, but in vain, and they finally arrive where there is another minister. Ray insists upon the girl marrying him, and she, struck by the "speed" he has shown in the getaway, finally promises. When Neal comes up puffing and blowing to take her away, she tells him she has changed her mind. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
