'Bob, a young country bumpkin with a heart of gold, is always helping people in distress.

'He is attracted to Hannah, a pretty, young Salvation Army girl, but she is clearly disapproving of his friendship with three prostitutes who pay a visit to the town.

'Hannah, however, is not all she seems to be, but Bob is not one to censure, nor abandon his generous ways.'

Notes

  • Epigraph: Now this is the creed from the Book of the Bush- / Should be simple and plain to a dunce: / "If a man's in a hole you must pass round the hat- / Were he gaol-bird or gentleman once."
