From the time of his early misadventures, Georgy Porgy continued running away from the girls until he reached the age of fifty. At this dangerous period, he fell madly in love with an attractive spinster. One day, while walking downtown with his lady-love, Georgy stopped at a florist's and purchased a magnificent bouquet of flowers. After he had taken the lady home and returned to his own apartment, he discovered that he had absentmindedly forgotten to give her the flowers. Accordingly he immediately sent for a messenger boy, and waving to his inamorata in the opposite window, showed her the flowers, and indicated what he intended to do with them. The Smiths lived in the apartment beneath Georgy's friend. Mrs. Smith, sitting at the window, was highly annoyed when she discovered a strange man apparently trying to flirt with her from the opposite window. She had just received a letter from her father telling her that he intended to make her husband a partner of the firm on the anniversary of their wedding, a week later. Mr. Smith, annoyed by his wife's reticence about the letter, tried to take it from her. The letter tore and Mr. Smith got a piece, which read, "Don't let him suspect this. Your loving papa." Immediately thereafter Mr. Smith discovered the man at the window opposite, and jumped at the conclusion that he had sent the note. When the messenger boy brought the flowers to the Smith's apartment by mistake, it capped the climax. The tenseness of the situation was increased when Georgy came over to hunt for the flowers, which had not reached their proper destination. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
