Harvey Knipple Directed by Mrs. Wlepsic RESUME Douglas Goodyear, a timid and retiring young man, has been left some money by his grand- father, and decided to take a trip abroad. While at Cannes he writes his mother that he has saved a young French girl from drowning. Now his mother is given to exaggeration and by the time she has read her son's letter over several times, she is convinced that her son is a hero, a Cham' pion swimmer and that the French girl is a Count' ess. She gives the story to the local newspaper and each time she tells the tale, it becomes more elaborate. Douglas' sister Grace knows that Doug cannot swim as most of his friends and they are amazed at the story, When Douglas returns home, he finds a wel- come that flabbergasts him, for he is given a re- l29l ception that is fitting for a real hero. He confides to his sister that he really saved the girl by row- ing out to her in a leaky boat. A sports tourna- ment is proposed in which Douglas will have to swim against a champion. He is at his wits, end. His sister proposes to help him to learn how to swim. They have six weeks in which to prepare. Moreover he hasn't a moment's peace. He is in- vited to make speeches at banquets, people pester him to give them swimming lessons and to cap the climax, he receives a cablegram that the French girl is following him to America. How Douglas manages to extricate himself from his many complications is as funny a situa- tion as one can imagine. In the end he wins the contest and establishes himself as The Tin Hero.
