Her heart is given to young Bill who assists her father. But although the captain is satisfied with the match, Peg's ambitious mother has other plans for her daughter and engages her to a fashionable barber in the city. When Bill protests he is discharged and he leaves the canal boat vowing vengeance on the barber. He arrives in the city and going to the barber shop proceeds to pitch into the barber only to find he has the wrong one, the other fellow having left town to join a party on the "Polly P." At the party the barber incurs the displeasure of all the men on account of the tremendous hit he makes with the girls, that is, all save Peg, who is annoyed by his attentions. The climax is reached when the barber, in a spirit of jollity, offers to shave the captain's whiskers for nothing. The men, egged on by the captain, throw him into the canal. He lands on shore and tells his troubles to the constable, who boards the boat and places the captain under arrest. On the way to the lockup they meet Bill running away from another constable. They join forces, and, assisted by the captain's wife, they put the two constables to rout. Then, jumping into the canal boat, they start off at full speed. The constables catch up with them, but too late; they have passed the stone marking the State boundary and cannot be touched. Peg's mother removes her objection to Bill and the lovers are happily reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
