Boys Again (1912)

Lyons decides to take a holiday and starts on an automobile trip. Going through his home town, that he has not visited for fifteen years, he breaks down at the station. At the same time two old companions of his are just leaving the station when they see their old pal. They persuade him to join them as the automobile cannot be fixed for at least a day. Farmer Bassit rigs the two friends out and they go fishing and fall in the water, lunch and all. They then go to an orchard and Lyons climbs an apple tree. Mrs. Farmer Brown sees the robbers and chases them, leaving Lyons in the tree. The dog tears Bassit's trousers, but Lyons gets away, and falls worn out with laughter by the side of a road. While there, he hears a girl sobbing over a letter that she has received from her lover telling her that the factory (Lyon's) has been shut down and they will have to wait to get married. Lyons finds out that the girl is a daughter of a former playmate and promises to alter affairs in general. He goes to the telegraph office and phones to the manager to rescind the order to close down and instead to raise wages 5 per cent. Two days later he goes home and meets the happy lovers on the road and goes on his way a happier and better man.
