    Storyline

    Edit
    Arriving at Sunnyside and finding Patsy inclined to still remain in her company, Mary tells him that such a thing would, of course, be impossible, owing to the jealousy of her husband, but he does not know what to do in his impecunious position, so Mary secures for him a position in the seminary as gardener. The presence in their midst of so young a man causes great excitement among the young women. For a time all goes well, but soon Patsy is discharged on account of too much attention to the young ladies. Immediately there is a strike among them, and they demand his reinstatement. Inquiry develops that Patsy is a college man and an athlete, and as Mrs. Squills, the head of the seminary, contrary to the wishes of her husband, desires to develop physical culture in the seminary. Patsy is promoted to the chair of physical science. Trouble awaits him, however, for his ideas that young women should be trained as young men are and put through the same variety of exercises finds its way into the newspapers, and brings to the seminary a large body of protesting parents, who insist upon the elimination of the objectionable instructor or they will remove their daughters and charges. They interrupt Patsy at work with his pupils in the gymnasium and Patsy is summarily discharged. His evil genius, Sykesy, has come to the seminary in the interest of his sister Jane, and Patsy, believing that this new trouble is his doing, administers a severe beating, ending with a ducking in the swimming pool. The edict has gone forth that Patsy must go, but that night the young ladies give him a reception at midnight in one of the rooms in order to express their disapproval of his dismissal. The noise in the room is heard by Mary, who is sleeping just below, and. going up stairs, she knocks at the door of the refectory room. Patsy is let from the window by a rope hastily constructed from sheets. This breaks and Patsy falls through a skylight upon the bed of his admirer. Mrs. Squills, in order that he may not be discovered, she conceals him under the blankets, but there he is found by the irate Squills, who horsewhips him and again turns him out upon the pitiless world. —Moving Picture World synopsis

    The plot is of small moment
    The seventh of the Patsy Bolivar episodes takes Clarence J. Elmer (Patsy) to a seminary where he is in turn a gardener and a physical instructor. Some of the scenes showing the' girls in mannish gymnasium costumes playing follow the leader hold the attention. They are the best part of the picture for the plot is of small moment. - The Moving Picture World, February 27, 1915
