- Plot: Louise, a country girl, studious and very ambitious to go through college, finds the beat too oppressive to remain indoors, so seeks the shade of a large cherry tree. Being endowed with the usual vigor of a country girl, she climbs the tree and leisurely settles down to read. Professor Mooney finds chasing butterflies too irksome and goes to rest under the same tree. Occasionally a cherry drops on the Professor's head. He pays but little attention to them. A shoe falls by his side unnoticed, then a stocking drops upon the book he is reading. He absent-mindedly picks up the stocking, wipes his face with it, and then places it in his trouser's pocket. Soon he falls asleep. In the meantime, Louise tries to climb higher in the tree, but her foot slips and her books fall, one of them dropping on the professor, followed by Louise, who lands plump on the professor's head. Later Louise receives a communication from the professor, saying his board is willing to offer her tuition at half price, provided she is willing to assist in the chores. Louise is grieved to think she is unable to accept this kind offer, but her mother cheers her up by giving her some money she has saved, which is enough to carry her through at the half price rate. At school, Louise is the victim of all the practical jokes of the girls. She finally gathers sufficient courage to take revenge. In the dead of night, the night before commencement, she steals their corsets, ties them with the string and suspends them from the college chimney. This causes much dismay and distress among the girls, as well as lots of fun for the guests. No one suspects Louise is the culprit, but she confesses to the principal, who declares his love for her, afterwards disclosing who the culprit is, and announcing his engagement to her.
