Jerry plays a trick on father and poses as a doctor, thus gaining admittance to the daughter's presence. The young folks' merriment over their victory is of such a boisterous nature that father becomes suspicious. He puts his daughter to sleep and spots up her face a la small pox. Seeing his sweetheart in this state, Jerry flees in fright and meets Dr. George, from whom he appropriated the garb of doctor. The doctor chloroforms Jerry, decorates him with small pox spots and imprisons him in a quarantined house. The prisoner escapes, but after some chasing the police apprehend him. They are forced to acknowledge a mistake, however, for, during the chase, the spots have been washed off of Jerry's face. The officer then gives Jerry a roll of bills to buy his silence as well as to treat his wounds. The Wayward Son — (Two Reels) — Reliance — December 12. — Featuring William Hinckley. C.
