Boyd Birley. In a friendly argument, Kenneth makes fun of Boyd's fashionable congregation, and offers to give an automobile to the member of the Ladies' Aid Society, who can show a real charitable act done during the month. Kenneth decides. The minister makes the announcement, and the spinsters and widows of the church determine to win both Kenneth and the motor car. But Kenneth has been introduced to Rhoda Odgen, a country maid, with love at first sight on both sides. Kenneth disguises himself as a tramp, and calls on Sarah Jane Smith, and others of the Ladies' Aid Society, asking for charity. He does not get it. Sarah Jane, however, recognizes Kenneth as he walks away, and runs after him to bring him back. Instead she finds Bill Hykes, a real tramp, dressed like Kenneth. Bill gets a feed, but is "fired" when Sarah Jane discovers her mistake. Kenneth finds no charity in Dedham but he finds love. At the end of the month, the Ladies' Aid meets to see who wins the auto. The minister carries the joke along, and leads Sarah Jane and the rest to a sheltered nook where Kenneth and Rhoda are deciding to become engaged. Sarah Jane reads the answer, and exit in disgust with her "fellow hypocrites." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
