This remains for you to judge after seeing how Sandy, a miner in a western placer camp, allows the ship of state to founder on the rocks of domestic unrest. The widow of Mill Creek Flats maintains a boarding house and among her stalwarts was Sandy Doolin, who has an eye on the charming widow and takes the first opportunity of popping the question and much to his surprise she not only accepts, but takes no chance in his escaping and almost kidnaps poor Sandy. He is led back to the house and she presents him to his fellow sufferers as her fiancé. The widow has visions of a life of sunshine and roses and Sandy is to be her gardener; his first duty was to get in the wood and other exercises practiced around the home. The hoarding house is to cease to exist and Sandy's pals are out in the cold for home, while he is relegated to the backyard to peel potatoes. He has the sympathy of all the boys. Casey has an idea and imparts it to Sandy as an avenue for his escape. The widow discovers the clandestine meeting and promptly returns the prodigal to the peaceful flats. Watching his chance, he escaped from the window; he has decided upon deception as the only means of regaining happiness and writes the following touching note to the public: "Good-bye all: Married life ain't what I thot it was, I am going to try to cross the river and 1 can't swim a stroke. If my remainders are ever found don't plant me near Sally; she ain't at all peaceful. Sandy." It is delivered to Sally and she is almost on the verge of nervous prostration. The river is being dragged and the future looks gloomier. The boys are all invited back to board. In the meantime Sandy is in hiding. He ventures out and by chance his fair Sally meets him unexpectedly and the chase is on, completing a picture of unique and interesting incidentals. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
