The country school board assigns a new teacher, and the lot falls to none other than Sweedie. She takes up her duties the following Monday, and the pupils have great sport with her. She is the target for their bean shooters and rubber bands, but is unable to catch any of them in the act. Finally she is forced to be the peacemaker between Tim and his rival, who have started a fight over Sadie, the little girl in the case. As time goes by, Sweedie is paid great attentions by one of the old members of the school board. This fact becomes known and the town gossipers get busy and demand that Sweedie be discharged. She loses her position, but not for long, as the pupils threaten to quit unless she returns. The next day finds Sweedie back on the job.
