Here we have a young man assiduously bestowing all the attentions possible upon the woman whom he hopes will some day be his mother-in-law in a praiseworthy attempt to gain her good will. So attentive is he, indeed, that he more than once brings a frown of displeasure to the fair brow of his lady love. The young people, however, finally get married and now we see them a year later. What a change! All pretense is now over, and mother-in-law and son-in-law are having an altercation of a most violent nature which ultimately ends in a most unexpected manner.
