Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Luke is a miller brave and bold. He laughs and sings from morning until night, happy in the thought that he is loved by Mazie Nut. Mazie and Luke take advantage of atmospheric conditions and picturesque surroundings and “spoon” by the bright moonlight, while the old mill brings up the rear. Thus unconsciously visualizing the dreams of some would-be painter they continue softly purring. Then the villain comes and disturbs them. Follows a series of brilliant tactics used by the gladiators which are spine tickling to say the least.
