She wants her daughter Maggie, now known as Margarette, to marry a count. Maggie loves Sammy, who brings her flowers; in the bouquet was a bee, and Sammy is ejected. Mother receives a telegram from the Count telling of his arrival. Maggie learns that the Count will arrive and sends for Sammy to help her. Sammy goes to the station and recognizes the Count. He follows him through a field, where he knocks the Count out, drags him to a blacksmith shop, changes clothes with him and goes to the house disguised as the Count. Sammy intends to disgust mother and father with his actions. He is invited to dinner, and, much to the surprise of mother, he eats his soup reading a sheet of music, after which he pulls the chicken apart, serves it with his hands and throws it around the table. Mother and Father start after Sammy again, Sammy pulls down the curtain and swings on the chandelier, pulling plants and dirt down, burying Mother, Father, Maggie, and himself in the debris. Sammy makes his getaway, leaving the family by themselves. Mother, after all this, is cured of her society craze. Written by Moving Picture World, December 15, 1917 See less
