One of her Admirers Three has taken advantage of the darkness to kiss Peggy, and she writes to each that she must refuse to see them again until the guilty one confesses. They all confess to the kiss.
Who Kissed Pretty Peggy ?
TF YOU were a pretty girl with three admirers, who belonged
to the same fraternity and called in sets of three, how could you choose between them?
If all three were calling on you and the lights nickered and went out, and one of them kissed you in the dark, how would you discover the guilty man?

It is a comedy mystery in which an unclasped fraternity pin and a case of mumps prove to be the clew by which Peggy discovers the man who kissed her. There isn't a slow scene in the comedy.

* ' I write the drama and playlets for money, ' ' she confesses, "because they pay better; but I write the comedy scenarios for recreation. After I have seen a tragic film, with scene after scene of tense emotions, my shoulders ache with the strain of the close watching, and then I want to see a snappy little comedy with a good laugh in it, to take out of my mouth the taste of sin, death and drowning, such as the modern programs seem to delight in. Why film the horrible phases of life, anyway? We have plenty of them with us every day. When we pay money for an evening's entertainment, we want to be entertained, not depressed."
"Admirers Three" was directed by Charles Dixon, one of the late recruits from the stage.
