Storyline
| Plot Summary |
To get money out of dad for his little frolics, Willie pretends he is taking art lessons, when he is really painting the town instead of the canvas. The time comes when he must show results, so he borrows a painting and pretends it is his work. Dad, however, insists upon his painting a landscape, and, of course, he must make the bluff. Through a most novel medium the bluff makes good. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis |
