The village school master loses his heart to the widow, who considers herself too good for him. Betty is bored with the "dry old place" and longs for some "nice young feller" to come along. She has her wish. Tom, a dapper city chap, comes to board at the farm. The widow "falls" for Tom. She places Betty in the background and walks off with him. The young folks are not so soft, and soon find a way to get together. Mamma tries to put Betty out of the running by making her daughter wear the clothes of a ten-year-old. She then frisks herself up to appear girlish. Tom sees through the widow's schemes. He makes violent love to Betty, despite her "youth." Mamma is left in the cold. She plays another card, rushing Betty to the village school and turns her over to the old school master. But what's the use? Tom gets wind of this move, disguises himself as a pupil and joins Betty. Mamma now thinks the field clear and hunts for Tom. Learning of his actions she rushes to the school where she finds Tom and Betty leading the youngsters through outlandish pranks against the infuriated school master. Trained bears belonging to an Italian faker escape and enter the school. They are helping themselves to the kids' lunches when discovered. There is wild excitement and a rush from the school. In the confusion, Tom and Betty again escape the widow. They meet a parson and induce him to tie the marital knot. He is hastily complying when discovered by the widow from the school house window. She faints into the school master's arms. The warmth of his arms feels good after all and the widow forgets all about Tom and Betty when the school master proposes to her.
