A country girl, the heroine of the picture, is seen at her father's house preparing for a drive; the buggy is brought around and she drives away. Meantime we catch a glimpse of the Judge presiding over his court and see at once that he is a young man to have attained to a position so dignified. The Judge is next seen on a motoring tour through the country and in passing the young lady's house, catches sight of her on the veranda. The attraction appears to be mutual, and something like a flirtation takes place between the Girl and the Judge. The young lady has evidently made an impression on the legal gentleman, as his auto, with suspicious quickness, returns, and a pretended break-down gives him an opportunity of making, the acquaintance of the girl. The Judge goes toward the house, but she evidently does not recognize him at first or pretends not to, and throws a pan of water out of the window, which unfortunately falls on the Judge so startling him that he falls into a cellar and sprains his ankle severely. Then the natural good nature of the girl asserts itself and she invites the Judge into the house, but in his pain he sits down on the edge of the table, without noticing that it is set with dishes, and causes a bad smash-up of crockery. The farmer enters at this moment and, enraged at the destruction, throws the Judge out of the house without knowing who he is, but his daughter explaining the situation to him, he helps the Judge into the house again, and furnishes him with a suit of his own clothes. The Judge now proposes to return home and the young lady endeavors to assist him with the automobile, but unfortunately a more serious accident occurs and the young man is thrown from the auto just as it is starting and rendered unconscious. He is again carried into the house and the family unite in efforts to revive him, and he leaves the city, having first obtained a copy of the girl's photo. "The Girl," left alone, solaces herself with a letter from the Judge, but is discovered by her father, who reads the letter and obtains a clue. The farmer visits the city and going first to the Judge's chambers obtains his home address, when mutual explanations follow, resulting in an invitation to the girl's home, and the happiness of the young couple follows as a matter of course.
