The story of a bashfull boy who lived in a world of ideas and ideals.
01:06
He was so afraid of girls that he made a secret study of them, and the more he studied them the more he feared them.
01:17
He lived in Little Bend, one of those towns where only three things happen every day morning, noon, and night.
01:29
He was an apprentice in the tailor shop of his uncle, Jerry Meadows—as ye rip so shall they sew.

Long weeks came and went—you couln't stop them.
Short dreams came—and—well, who wants to stop them?
32:43
"Why have you insisted on driving home through Little Bend the past few weeks?"

"Why—er—not yet; things are not arranged—quite. I have something else to attend to right now."

and when my book is a success I'll be rich too—and I'll have something I want to ask you."42:07
"What do you think? My nephew has a girl at last!"
