- Headmistress Flo disciplines unruly boys at her father's school. Her innovative methods include hosing the boys down and locking them inside an ice house. Nothing like stranding the assistant principal on a hoist to make love bloom.
- Flo is the headmistress at Dow's School for Boys (enrollment: 12). The boys get too rowdy at the dinner table, so she dismisses the popular, but permissive, assistant principal. But the boys sneak out and he teaches them outdoors, until Flo turns the garden hose on them and chases the boys into the ice-house, which she locks. After an hour, she sends a bucket of hot coffee in with the assistant principal, but she removes the ladder he uses, stranding him. After another hour, he agrees to surrender, and she releases the boys. He leaves, but love has bloomed in the interim.—Jon Reeves <jreeves@imdb.com>
- Prof. Dow has a boarding school for boys, but owing to his nervous, timid nature is unable to establish suitable discipline to keep his scholars in check. For an assistant he has a rollicking young Irishman named Jack Doyle, who cares little for discipline and in his good-hearted way wants the boys to have as good a time as possible. Flo, Prof. Dow's only daughter, a teacher of physical culture in a neighboring city, closes her class and arrives home just at the height of an unusually loud outburst on the part of the boys, over the reappearance of porridge for breakfast. Rescuing an unfortunate waiter from the clutches of the irate scholars, Flo starts in to quell the rebellion by discharging the assistant, Jack Doyle. This leads to a demonstration by the boys, in favor of Jack, whom they greet as their idol and carry him off triumphantly on their shoulders. Then follows a series of plots and counterplots, in which a garden hose, an ice house, and a long ladder play prominent parts, between Flo on the one side and the boys on the other, with Jack Doyle acting the part of an amused intermediary, when he is not busy balancing himself on a beam at the top of the ice house. It all winds up by Flo conquering the rebels and establishing a system of perfect discipline and contentment throughout the school and the reengagement of Jack Doyle as assistant principal and prospective bridegroom of the intrepid Flo.—Moving Picture World synopsis
