Ezra Snuck, the "ladies' man" of the village, happens in as Stickney is reading the letter, and learns that she is coming to take charge of her brother's household. Stickney, pointing to the picture, which was taken a quarter of a century ago, when the sister was only eighteen, says, "That's Susie." Ezra falls madly in love with the picture, and confiscates it. Susie is now an old maid of forty-three. The male contingent of the village have, in the meantime, received a glimpse of the photograph, and are as badly smitten as Ezra. Vinnie, who has held Ezra's heart up to now, suddenly finds herself supplanted by another. The other girls are also cast aside by their sweethearts. Susanne, with her parrot and cat, alights, but not one of the men who have gone to the station to escort her to her brother's home, pays any attention to her. All are looking for the pretty original of the picture. In the meantime Susanne arrives at Stickney's home. Stickney is surprised at her coming alone, and tells her of the welcoming committee. As they are talking, Ezra and the farmers arrive to report the non-arrival of "Susie." Upon learning Susanne's identity, one look at her suffices them, and they beat a hasty retreat. Susanne is pacified by her brother, who explains that they were "jest bashful." Later that day, Sam Higgins, Susanne's sweetheart of a quarter century ago, returns to the scene of his boyhood. He meets Susanne; their old affections are revived, and she soon consents to become Mrs. Higgins. Vinnie and the girls decide to pay the boys in their own coin, refusing to have anything further to do with them. Realizing that they have Ezra to thank for their predicament, the farmers give him a good ducking in the river. The last we see of Ezra, he is sitting on the bank of the river, drenched to the skin, savagely tearing into bits the picture of his "Susie." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
