But alas, the course of true love is only too often rough. Mandy's pa hates Jim. Each time Jim steals a blissful moment with his beloved, he expects to receive a shot of red pepper in the center of his specific gravity. However Jim decides to emulate Falstaff. He takes Liza Green, the washerwoman into his confidence, and she smuggles him into Mandy's yard in a clothes basket. Unfortunately, Mandy takes Pa into her confidence and Jim is dumped into the lake. Jim returns to Mandy and he and Pa come to destructive blows. In the meantime, some thieves are chased oat of Pa's chicken-coop by the neighbors. The thieves drop the chickens in their flight, and Pa picks them up. He is then pursued as the thief. Mandy locks him in the chicken-coop for safety. Once Pa is safe Mandy summons Jim and they compel him to consent to their marriage under penalty of remaining in the chicken-coop for the remaining days of his life. Written by
