Polly Bunco quarrels with her husband, Peter Bunce, because he objects to her inviting her cousin from the country to visit them. She wires Billy to come anyway, and he arrives, bringing a chicken for a gift to his city relatives. Polly makes him comfortable in her husband's smoking jacket and slippers, and when the latter reaches home, he throws the chicken out of the window and snatches his belongings off Billy's person. At dinner time the country cousin shows some timidity about appearing at the table, fearing that his country manners will disgrace him. But Polly tells him to do everything that Peter does, and not to worry. Billy imitates the husband's every move. Peter becomes enraged. But his wife pacifies him and he kisses her. Billy hastens to repeat this also. The husband gets after his cousin-in-law with a gun. He takes refuge on the roof of the porch. The gun accidentally goes off, and Billy is hit. Host and hostess both rush to his side, and the matter is amicably settled.

    In this number Louis Simon impersonates a country youth visiting city relatives. His advent causes considerable amusement, but there should have been more plot to the story to hold up the interest. The characterization was good and the photography attractive. - The Moving Picture World, October 10, 1914
