Plot

As reported in a film magazine, [6] orator Abraham Lincoln Jones (Truex) works at the mayor's office, emulating his namesake and confident in his future rise to the mayor's position. However, the war took him away, mussed him up, and shot him back home on sick leave. He finds the home town is not the same. A couple of "Women's Rights" specialists had vested and panted the female populous, while males were minding the babies and doing housework. One young woman retained frills and furbelows, the dreaded dressmaker's daughter. Abe takes hold of the town and young woman and proves himself a man.
