Biograph Company

An amorous boy (Billy Quirk) is interrupted while kissing his sweetheart (Mary Pickford) by the arrival of a clearly disapproving man. A little later Pickford catches him kissing her sister (Florence Lawrence) and sends him packing with a hearty slap. The boy returns and after knocking ferociously is admitted by the maid. Pickford again sends him away. Pickford is reading a book titled "Into the Cold Waters" and this gives the boy the idea of threatening to drown himself. Reaching the nearest pond he starts to undress but recoils after dipping one toe in the water. At this instant Pickford, who has followed him, arrives on the scene and the two are reconciled in the usual way. Back on the front steps of her home the couple embrace passionately while the sister looks on from a discreet vantage point in the garden. <6mn 8s>
