Storyline

Widowers Amos and Ben plot to romantically unite Amos’ daughter, Luisa, and Ben’s son, Matt, by pretending to feud and forbidding the teens to associate, knowing they will resist their fathers’ interference. As the two youngsters fall in love, the fathers plot to end the "feud" by hiring a traveling showman to fake an abduction and allow Matt to "rescue" Luisa.
