He even is compelled to arise and serve breakfast for them. At his office, Bill Mars, his partner, holds the same attitude. Peaceful Henry finds his principal delight in writing letters pleading for peace to the "Voice of the People" columns of the newspapers. Willie Mars, like his father is a bully, and picks on the smaller boys at the old swimming hole. Clarence Alswell is their champion. The elder Mars threatens to thrash his son unless he thrashes Clarence Alswell. Henry Alswell sees the fight and hastens to separate them. Mars attacks him. The blood of the pacifist rises and he takes a few wallops at Mars. To his great surprise he vanquishes him. "You're some scrapper, dad," Clarence yelps in delight, and Alswell, a transformed man, swaggers down the street looking for another fight. When he reaches home Percival Footease, a matinee dancer, is sympathizing with his wife on her possession of a weak-willed spouse. The weak-willed spouse hurls Percival into the street. Now the erstwhile hen-pecked Henry Alswell has his breakfast served in bed. All fear him and his son is proud of his fighting father. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
