The Old Swimming Hole

• Watchlist

The story is of a little school boy, his love affair with a little school girl and a fight at the old swimming hole with his rival, the bully. While they are fighting in the water, the bully is suddenly seized with cramps and is rescued by the other boy. The mothers get together and compel the constable to put up a sign at the swimming hole that there will be no more swimming allowed. The boys and girls see this sign, but pay no attention to it; they get into the water and indulge in a free-for-all swimming and diving contest. The constable arrives in the midst of the fun, but the boys and girls all duck under the water and he passes on, content that his orders have been obeyed. As soon as he is out of sight the children come up from under the water and the scene fades out with all hands enjoying themselves in the old swimming hole.
