- Hiram is first discovered reviving an old sign, getting ready for the victims; for his exciting advertisements in the city papers always bring him a harvest of hopeful humanity. He leaves for the station and his wife hustles the hired help around to get everything ready for the onslaught. A portly lady from the city soon arrives with a bunch of juvenile peace-disturbers, a grown daughter, and a love-sick dude who has temporarily suspended his services, at hopping the ribbon counter, to anticipate the joy of a few weeks in the thickets. By mutual consent, a tramp has changed wardrobe and position of honor with a scarecrow in a nearby corn field. A German professor rides up the dusty road on a bicycle, stops for a rest in the shade of a telephone pole, and hangs his coat and hat on a nearby fence. Mr. Tramp, or the supposed scarecrow, is invigorated at this instance and makes another profitable exchange. Through the rest of the comedy the professor is only a few paces pursuant to the hobo, until the knight of the road, finding nothing else left loose around the premises, carts the professor away in a convenient wheelbarrow. Things are made so lively for the newcomers that a very few minutes suffice to show the city matron that any old life but a country life is good enough for her; and, although she has paid a fortnight's board in advance, for herself and what she brought with her, she willingly gathers her family and an informal drift toward the depot.—Moving Picture World synopsis
