The new minister is expected to take dinner with the family. Dick's parents try to impress upon him that it will be necessary for him to act his prettiest and make a favorable impression. Dick is so deeply engrossed in his novel he pays no attention to them, and when the minister calls, he forgets all about him and keeps on reading. He brings his novel to the dinner table and he is banished to the kitchen, where he gathers together an ample supply of cakes and pies, takes his gun and wanders off into the country. It is discovered that Dick has disappeared. His mother becomes greatly excited. Everybody goes on a still hunt for the lost one. They get information that Dick has been seen going in a certain direction. The boy sees them coming, and puts on extra speed, followed by the constable, his parents, the minister and everybody in town. Dick manages to get far enough in advance to make for home in time to climb a ladder at the side of the house and get into bed before the arrival of his pursuers. As soon as the followers reach the house, they enter and find Dick in bed, hidden underneath the covers. He is unceremoniously pulled out and led to the barn by his mother, where his father, who has just caught up, with the procession, arrives and insists upon giving him a severe beating, with a club he hastily picks up. Dick's mother objects and declares her right to administer the necessary punishment. Taking off her shoe, she enters the barn and dusts the seat of her son's trousers good and plenty.
