[edit]

As described in a film magazine review,[2] Tommy Perkins meets and falls in love with Rose Bannon, daughter of General Bannon. The general is in New York City with the revolutionist Alonzo López, who plans to overthrow the government of Esquasado. 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. When he learns of a plot to overthrow the South American government, he aids in frustrating those plans. The pickle business blooms and he marries Rose.
