Plot: A fashionably dressed stranger arrives in Bloom Center. He encounters Chubby Green and without further ceremony Chubby receives a punch on the jaw. The stranger then seeks out other Bloom Centerites, which include the village blacksmith, Johnny West and others, and the same violent proceedings are continued. All the victims seek the aid of Constable Plum. That valiant individual polishes his star and goes on the trail of the stranger. Constable Plum and his followers finally encounter the stranger in Melodeon Hall. There, confronted by Constable Plum, Druggist Phil Pickle, Postmaster Pash and those who have suffered, the stranger tells a story. He recalls that he was a little fellow residing years ago with his parents in Bloom Center. He says that he has never forgotten the time the boys tied knots in his clothing after he had been enticed into the old swimming hole; that his memory is fresh on the details of when he was the "goat" on melon patch expeditions, and he says that he remembers as if it were yesterday the countless undeserved whippings which he earned through the conspiracy on the part of his other playmates. "I vowed that I'd come back some day, and I have come back," states the stranger. Then it is he hands his business card to Constable Plum, which card reads: "Percy Pinkham, Champion Lightweight Pugilist." He is then recognized as the little, undersized boy who many years ago had been made the butt for all mischief perpetrated by Bloom Center boys.
