Mistaken for the bridge engineer, who has been paying visits to the hermit's daughter, the hermit sends Cook on his way unceremoniously.

4566 Code GARMER Bad Boy
Kodak Cinegraph Featuring Charley Chase and Martha Sleeper
On his return from college, Charley concurs with his father's wish that he learn the steel business from the bottom up in the family mill, employing a genteel group of huskies who swing fists more often than they do hammers.
Charlie is in love with the daughter of poor but honest parents. She sees him in effeminate costume dancing on the lawn at one of his mother's benefit parties and parts with him in disgust. In his efforts to seek her company he follows her to Googan's Dance Hall — one of the toughest in town. Garbed to match hi's new environment, he is mistaken for "Bad Boy Brodie," a desperate character. His attempts to live up to the role in spite of the crowd's recognizing his picture in the paper as a danseuse at the lawn fete, are unusually funny.
