In Wrong
About In Wrong
Johnny Spivins drives a grocery wagon and wants Millie Fields, whose mother keeps a boarding house. Millie turns to Morgan Coleman, a New Yorker staying there. Jealous, Johnny tries for a job at the bank and retreats when the president rages that his groceries never arrived. Johnny pretends an interest in Dolly Sheldon, another visitor from the city, and Millie does not seem to care. He is about to pull Millie from an overturned canoe when Morgan dives off a high bridge and saves her. The town, Johnny's mother included, plans a party for Morgan, and Johnny decides to leave. On the road he catches two bank robbers and marches them back with a pitchfork. The town honors him, the bank president hires him, and Millie says she loves him.
