Reading romantic novels has Sis dreaming of soul mates and dauntless heroes. So, when the village smithy makes her a nail ring and says that she shall have three wishes, she turns down his proffered love and wanders off in the fields to read her novel. "Gee," she sighs, "I wish I had a soul mate." And, lo and behold, T. Jeremiah Spinach drops from the air at her knees. Sis does not know that T. Jeremiah, otherwise known as Rogue's Gallery No. 1, was escaping from a detective and had involuntarily fallen down the embankment. The pursuing detective and the rivalry of the village smithy bring on complications galore before T. Jeremiah is finally walked off to justice and Sis finds consolation in the huge reward given her for his capture and the love of the smithy.
