A motion picture company is ready to start out to find a location when it is discovered that the hero, Lonesome Luke, is missing. A search is instituted. Meanwhile, Luke, who has slid to the floor of the company's auto, has fallen asleep. The picture that follows is his dream which in comedy effects far surpasses the ingenuity of the foregoing "set." Luke dreams that he is again a schoolboy and that he and his fellow-actors are all young again. The girls are in short skirts and the boys in knee-breeches. They attend the little schoolhouse on the hill, presided over by a sour dame, the archetype of the country schoolmarm. Once in the schoolroom the real fun begins. Fatty, one of the scholars, has a "penny-dreadful" concealed in a geography book. Fatty comes to a particularly bloody part, when lo, his hair is seen to actually rise from his head and stand out like the well known quills of the equally well-known porcupine.
