SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, January 22, 1916:

"Larry's Lulu believes him a hero. Otherwise, never would she have consented to marry him. All on the same day Larry saved Lulu from an escaped tame bear, also from a burglar, and recovered Lulu's father's stolen money and valuables, hidden in the well. 'Gloomy Jenkins,' rival for Lulu's hand, tells a different story, however. He says it was nothing but Larry's luck that won him the belle of the town. In the first place, Larry was so near-sighted he mistook the bear for a big dog. He scared the burglar out of the house with the noise he was making serenading Lulu. And he only fell into the well by accident, where all he had to do was to pick up the handkerchief containing father's lost riches. But 'Gloomy Jenkins' bears Larry a grudge. And Lulu's romantic version is the one popularly preferred."

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, January 22, 1916:

"A comedy offering, featuring Boyd Marshall as a rather slow chap who wears glasses. He manages to outwit the other suitors, for all his slowness, and restores the girl's stolen jewels at the close. This is quite pleasing."
