As described in a film magazine review,[2] Tommy Perkins meets and falls in love with Rose Bannon, daughter of General Bannon.

Perkins is called to the South by his uncle who wishes him to take over a pickle factory that is on its last legs. He applies crackerjack methods to build up the business, and runs into Rose while going about his work.
