A slightly laboured comedy from the newly-formed Thanhouser Studio in which a suitor disguises himself as his girlfriend's father in order to smuggle her out of boarding school. For a while, it looks as if we're going to be treated to one of cinema's first car chases, but director Lloyd Lonergan does nothing with the possibilities available to him.
This early Thanhouser production demonstrates a lot of issues with the early products of this production company. While Griffith at Biograph was developing a new style of acting and Edison and Vitagraph's staff were working on editing techniques that would remake film into its own medium, Thanhouser, at this stage, was stuck with stagebound actors, long proscenium-arch compositions and lack of titles to aid the imagination.
