 Aaron Slick from unkin Crick was the story of a young widow, Mrs. Berry (who takes in summer boarders) and her neighbor and bashful boy friend, Aaron Sliok. Things really get under way when Mrs. Berry’s boarder, Wilbur Merridew, and his niece, Gladys Mae, discover oil on Mrs. Berry’s farm and plot to get the farm from Rosie for an under-priced sum of money. Sis Riggs, a young tomboy, overhears Merridew and his niece discussing the oil and tells Aaron of the plot. Aaron then helps Mrs. Berry get a large price for the farm. With the money, Mrs. Berry and Sis go to Chicago to live in style as city women just as Rosie had always longed to do. The joke is on Merridew, however, for soon after Rosie and Sis ha e left, he discovers that what he had thought was oil was nothing more than a few barrels of oil that Aaron Slick had dumped into the spring. Merridew and Gladys Mae rush to Chicago to force Mrs. Berry to return the money; at the same time Aaron also goes to Chicago to help Rosie protect her interests and, most important of all,to ask her to marry him. While in a cabaret in Chicago, his money is stolen by the Girl-in-blue, but Aaron very cleverlv steals it rigtrfc back. Everything turns out all right when Clarence Green, who had been shadowing Merridew, arrests him for a crime he had committed in another state. Finally, Aaron very shyly proposes to Mrs. Berry; she accepts, and they go Dack to live in Pumkin Crick. The cast consisted of the following!
