They Knew What They Wanted

"I won't Do it! Joe...you and me...we can't. It'd be too awful-on account of Tony. I've got to marry Tony...just as soon as he gets well!"

A rich farmer writes to a young woman and courts her by mail, but rather than send his own picture, he sends a photograph of his foreman. When she accepts his marriage proposal, the deception sets off complications for everyone involved.
