Plot

According to the copyright description,[1] "Jimmy conveys an ancient flivver, by his own motive power, with two city slickers, to the widow's farm. The Walrus tries to win the widow's hand and acquire the farm by a proposal but her herd of cats blast the romance. The Widow receives a letter from her daughter in the city to beware of the land sharks, end announcing her arrival. When the daughter arrives, the ubiquitous James, and not the scheming trio, is at the station to meet her. But the scoundrels have just begun their plotting. When the flivver escapes from custody and plunges over an embankment they capture the unconscious lady and secret her in an abandoned house. But James is not far behind. After a series of clashes he overpowers the plotters and wins the girl."
