Greatly disappointed, the lovers plan to elope. Their plans are overheard by two children, who promptly imitate Frank and Neva. Neva’s father hears the children talking and immediately “gets wise.” The parents discuss the matter and decide that the best thing to do is to let the young folks marry. He brings a minister to the house and waits for Frank and Neva to elope. He hears Frank whistle. Neva and Frank start away. Father holds them up with the gun.
