Synopsis

Biograph summary: A young girl is looking into a shop window. A farmer strolls by and speaks to her, and being impressed with her attractions fills her arms with apples, which he has in his pockets. A policeman enters, and the "Rube" also gives him an apple. Thinking that he has "fixed" the policeman, the farmer attempts to kiss the girl.
