Peck's Bad Boy
About Peck's Bad Boy
Bill Peck and his father Henry spend a day fishing, then go to a fathers-and-sons banquet where Bill wins a prize for a composition called "My Father." A telegram brings Aunt Lily and her son Horace to live with them. Horace wants Bill's room, and Lily blames Bill for the trouble between the boys. Bill runs away. After Henry sees Lily slap Bill, the relatives leave, Henry tells Bill he is adopted, and father and son make up.
