He is in love with Alice Bliss, a niece of Aunt Mary Belding, who has no idea of letting her niece marry a mere circus actor. When Jack tries to argue the point with her, she pelts him with potatoes. Jack has a scheme; he sends a note to Alice to try and coax Aunt Mary over to see him practice. Aunt Mary doesn't want to go, but the prospect of seeing a free show finally gets her. Clad in her gladdest raiment she chaperones Alice to the practice yard where Jack is perfecting a new act. There he pushes her onto the trampoline. She doesn't know how to get off and bounces up and down, utterly helpless, while Jack and Alice go off to be married. Then they come back and Jack helps her off the "infernal machine." It's a pretty even break for a moment whether she kills or kisses him, but Auntie has a sense of humor and that wins. She forgives him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
