TITLE
REEL NO.
boy friend, Billy, a druggist. When Billy calls, the butler won't admit him, but he gets in by a ruse. When Edna's father tries to enter his home, Billy's dog, Peter, won't let him pass. He gets a ladder and enters through a window, but the dog follows him and snaps at father's coat tail. Billy calls the dog off and Dad and the butler throw the boy friend out. All this excitement gives father a headache, so he tells Edna to get him some powders, but forbids her to buy them from Billy. She disobeys him. After she has left the store with the headache powders, Billy discovers that he has put arsenic in the medicine by mistake. He rushes to Edna's house, arriving just in time to knock a powder out of Dad's hand. He starts to explain that he made a mistake in mixing the medicine, but Edna warns him not to tell Father that she got the powders from him. Billy is thrown out again.
Sneaking to the back of the house, Billy calls to Edna and tells her that the headache powders contain poison. During the remainder of the picture, Billy and Edna use every scheme they can think of to get the powders away from Dad, only to be defeated at each attempt. As a last recourse he sends his dog Peter to get the powders, and more side-splitting scenes result. This film is sure to keep any audience roaring with laughter from start to finish. It is wholesome, logical and commendable in everv respect.
