The story of "The Country Boy" is filled with warm human appeal. Every small town like Fairville has its ambitious young fellows, full of energy, hope, and ambition, who feel that they "only need a chance," and set off confidently to New York, the brightest and coldest of all their American cities. They are short of rash, but bursting with enthusiasm, and the fight like soldiers in shell-swept tremors by the soldiers. Such a country boy was John Wilson, who loved pretty Jane Relknap. Her hard-hearted father, and well the girl herself, urged him to start out and make his fight. He was not tempted about his time, but when he lost his own way, he began to endure the soul wintering that makes successful men or women afraid of colds. The play bows to him in New York, bringing about his downfall, he was forced to leave the town, and to take matters worse, reports of his attentions to a big chorus girl—all really innocent—back to the hometown, and he is "In bad" all round. He has hitched a rubber tube to a tassel and is able to seek the end.  Following was out, when the pavement: "Break" comes and he is brought back to sanity and courage and prosperity. There are lots, warm, human hearts even in New York. Frederick Merkle, a businessman, a businessman, a businessman, a good-natured ticket speaker, are the good.
