Pete's father tells him to
quit being lazy and work to promote Prindle's products. |
 |
At a dinner party at his home,
Pete meets the daughter of one of his father's business partners,
Christine. After the dinner of "health food," Pete
goes to a restaurant where he can get some meat and "real"
food. He is surprised to find Christine there for the same reason. |
 |
Christine's father shows
Pete's father the extortion note he received from the Weazels
gang. |
 |
Pete proposes to Christine,
and she accepts. However, her father will not give his blessing
to the marriage until Pete owns half interest in Prindle's products. |
 |
Cadwalader works with police
to capture one of the Weazels when the crook comes to pick up
the extortion money in Central Park. |
 |
Pete's father chides him
for not promoting Prindle's products the way his two sisters
have done - by getting their picture in the "Vegetarian
Gazette." Pete tries several tricks to get his picture in
the papers, including a fake car wreck. |
 |
He also tries to get his
picture in the papers by fighting the boxing champ. Although
he does win, the place is raided by the police, and he is lucky
to escape without getting arrested -- and again just misses getting
his picture in the papers. |
 |
Pete's father tells him not
to come back until he has made good. |
 |
Accidentally, Pete happens
upon the Weazels as they are staging the wreck of a train carrying
Cadwalader. Singlehandedly he defeats the Weazels and saves the
train. Everyone crowds around the exhausted hero. |
 |
Everyone is reading about
Pete's heroic deed in the newspaper, but he has other things
on his mind. |
