The story starts with the bashful boy in his schooldays getting cold feet in one of the kissing games. The girl whom he is expected to kiss likes him better than she does the other boys, but he is too bashful and stupid to see it. She mischievously plays upon his jealousy but he only suffers green-eyed agony in silence. Later in high school, the bashful boy is deeply smitten, but as in his younger days, fails to make the most of his opportunities. A rival eventually appears and the girl, disgusted with the youth who isn't bold enough to win her, forgets about him, and encourages the attentions of another. This sours the bashful boy and makes him a woman hater. Twenty years later finds "un-faint heart" settled down to a life of single blessedness, and his idea of perfect bliss is a place where no women are around to disturb one's peace and comfort. At this period, by a very novel twist, ingeniously worked out, the former sweetheart, who is now a widow, meets the bachelor. This part of the plot is abundant with pathos and humor, compelling in every detail, and made attractive by the wonderful acting of the widow's child, who is responsible for the reunion of the old time sweethearts.
