A woman stands on the bank of a river. She runs into the brush to remove her clothes, and reveals her breasts. She looks around to see if someone is nearby, then slowly lowers herself into the water. She wades waist deep, until a small dog arrives. The camera does a close up on the dog, and then the woman calls the dog to her. The dog goes to the woman’s cloths and picks them up in its mouth. The woman gestures for the dog to go away, and it runs off camera with her clothing. The woman chases after the dog. She comes upon a barrel, and uses that as clothing to continue her dog chase. The dog walks through a narrow slit in a fence, and the women comes up to plead for her clothes. The woman’s barrel is too wide to fit through the slit, but she still reaches for her cloths through the fence. The woman notices a farmer cutting hay with a scythe on the other side of the fence. She gets scared and hides behind the fence. A screen comes up that reads, “Be calm, young maid - - Ask his aid - -” The woman uses a ladder to peak over the fence, and asks the farmer for her clothes. He retrieves them and hands them to her, then climbs the fence to get a peak of her. She has put her dress back on before the farmer sees her, and then the screen reads, “The End.”
