- "Ham", an effeminate man-child who skips around chasing butterflies with a net, is forced to go on a camping trip to "make a man out of him".
- Lloyd's father is in despair. He has tried every conceivable way to make a man of his son, but without success. Lloyd has butterflies on the brain. Every time he sees a butterfly he forgets everything else and starts after the insect with a net, determined to add its wings to his collection. He gets into all kinds of trouble and father determines to do something to make a man of him. The foreman of his father's lumber operations, Glen, is a real he-man and father tells him to take Lloyd into the woods and make a man of him-such a man as he is himself. Lloyd prepares for the trip, loaded down with all the equipment he can carry, not forgetting his beloved butterfly net. They get into the woods, but Lloyd still chases the beautiful but elusive butterfly. In the woods they meet Al, a millionaire camper and Betty, his beautiful daughter. Lloyd is smitten at sight of the daughter, but the sight of a pretty butterfly chases all thoughts of her out of his mind. At the camp of the millionaire, the tent catches fire and through Lloyd's absent-mindedness, it burns up. Lloyd then asks the man and his daughter to spend the night at his camp. They agree. On the way, Lloyd gallantly volunteers to carry the girl across a stream-but again a butterfly flits before him and he drops the girl into the water. That night the camp is made interesting if not pleasant by the visit of a skunk who is lonesome and who is seeking human companionship. The evening winds up with all of the party taking a hasty dive into the river.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
