Herrington (Jack Mulhall). Martin Gillis (George
Fawcett), Cathleen's loving father, is stern, very
religious, and runs an ice cream shop. Cathleen is an
obedient daughter and conservative in her views as
well. Jack however, has a routine that includes wild
parties hosted by his parents, Gladys and John
(Myrtle Stedman and Alec B. Francis), who think it is
better to be their son's friend by their providing
bootleg whiskey and a place to have all-night parties.
Jack's lifestyle places him at odds with Cathleen's,
but he promises her that he will change his ways. He
backslides several times, but in the end is reformed
by Cathleen's love, and they elope. After the
elopement, Gladys and John get a stern lecture on
temperance and sobriety from Martin and reform
their ways as well.
