She prefers old Doc Smart. Now the widow has a son Aggie. She has made an awful pet of this poor chap, keeping him in short trousers and frills long after his twenty-first birthday. When Aggie shows the slightest sign of sickness, mamma is thrown into hysterics with worry. Aggie is now taken mysteriously ill. Doc Smart is frantically called in. He shakes his head gravely and bundles the "dear boy" in heaps of blankets and feeds him awful medicine. The drummer calls. He also examines Aggie. "What your precious darling needs," he says, "is exercise." The widow is indignant and horrified at his suggestions. She shows the drummer the door. The next day, however, the drummer gets his chance when Aggie is wheeled into the park by his nurse "to take the air." He hires some tough boys to abuse Aggie until they arouse the latter's ire. The scheme works. The drummer "happens along." "If I only knew boxing, I'd knock their horrid heads off," cries Aggie. This is what the drummer wants. He sneaks Aggie to his room and starts instructing the lad in the art of boxing and exercising until after a few weeks, he develops Aggie into a whirlwind. Later, while the drummer and Aggie are attending a prize fight, Aggie has a bout with one of the principals and covers himself with glory. The next day mamma reads all about it in the newspapers and faints dead away. The lad now decides he certainly prefers the drummer as his "governor." He finally lays the matter before his horrified mamma, first, however, forcibly showing "that shrimp," Doc Smart, the door. The widow soon realizes that the drummer's methods of restoring her "pet" to health are decidedly the most effective and gladly gives him her hand. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
