But ...See moreMattie, the belle of Ethiopia, is very much sought after, but she is loved by John, the fireman, and while John is an honest man and has a regular job, he hasn't the fine clothes and the smooth tongue that has Rastus, the town sport. But when Rastus attempts to steal her away from him, John gives chase and after locating them at the meeting house he gives Rastus the most exciting time of his life, finally chasing Rastus to an old abandoned hut, and with the aid of a bomb sets the hut on fire. John's fire department answers the call of fire, but when John tells them the circumstances they walk away and let it burn. At this point, Mattie comes to the rescue of the unfortunate Rastus and pleads with John to release him. John finally succumbs and demands of Mattie to take her choice. She, of course, chooses John, and Rastus is given one long hour to leave town. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
