His uncle is a wealthy apple grower, but work does not appeal to Bill, and he continues to loaf. Bill is in love with Hazel Robinson (Anita Louise), and buys an engagement ring for her before he even proposes. This, he charges to his uncle, who learning of it, is furious. The unele hurries to Hazel’s parents (Gene and Kathleen Lockhart) and charges them with connivance. They are as angry as the uncle and insist on their daughter accepting the proposal of Dr. Jenkins (Richard Purcell). Bill arrives a little later to propose, finds his girl already engaged, but be ing a notorious flatterer, makes every one feel good except his rival, who is somewhat dubious of his congratulations. Bill leaves town on a hunting trip and returns sometime later for a ball to which he escorts a pretty newcomer to town. This makes Hazel jealous as she still loves Bill. PRODUCTION STAF He asks Hazel for permission to come to her home after the ball to say good bye in private, as he is going on another trip. Her jealous fiance orders her not to see Bill. But Bill arrives and artfully impresses the now furious doctor on the drawbacks of marriage. Hazel hears the conversaation and is furious with both. She breaks her engagement, whereupon Bill sneaks back to the house and soft soaps himself into her favor she marries him against her par: ents’ wishes. They finally try to get jobs for Bill, but he will work at them only a day or two, work and Bill having no liking for each other. Hazel promises her parents to leave Bill unless he accepts a final offer of a job. But meantime, Bill has thought up a brilliant idea for marketing apples in thermo-packed boxes. It is accepted by the State Apple Growers Association. By fast talking he persuades his uncle and his father-in-law to merge their business and give him a half interest in return for his new idea.
