Adonese is wooing a young lady. After meeting the lady, he and his driver end up running down the village idiot. However, Adonese tries to make good--giving the guy some money for his troubles and even buying him a new suit. However, the simpleton gets the idea that Adonese is his new best friend and won't let him alone for a second! After a while, Adonese does everything he can do to get rid of the guy--but he keeps showing up! Finally, at the end, something happens that ends up cementing their friendship for good!
The film has very funny moments and is worth seeing. As for the structure of the film, it is a bit archaic, even for 1910. But this can be overlooked since the overall product is quite nice.
The future director of countless slapstick comedies, Mack Sennett, plays the simpleton. He got his start with Biograph and D.W. Griffith and played in a variety of shorts and began directing for the studio before he eventually went his own way and started Keystone Studios.
