Necessity being the mother of invention they decide to force an issue between the two old men and therefore write a letter to each of them over the signature of the other. The fake letter from Smith to Brown says that the writer does not consider the Brown girls fit company for his boys and for Brown to see they are kept at a distance. The other states that the good-for-nothing Smith boys are pestering the writer's daughters and that their attentions must stop. The letters gain the desired effect and the irate old men on receiving them at once write each other that the writer expects to call in person and demand an apology. Learning this the boys at once prepare to bring matters to a climax. They make up very cleverly to represent the angry parents, the one to stay at home and impersonate Mr. Smith and the other to prepare to receive Mr. Smith at the Brown home as Mr. Brown. But well laid plans often go astray. The old gentlemen (who have never met) meet each other by chance and scrape an acquaintance. They become bosom friends over a little refreshment and on exchanging cards the plot is disclosed. Going to the Brown home they find both boys there in disguise and the mix-up is finally explained and all is forgiven. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
