The Preacher and the Gossips
The Rev. Frank Speakman has been to a rural congregation, and is entertained by the members. He is considered a fine catch matrimonially and the ladies set their caps for him. A pretty little milliner is among the contestants and the new minister cannot be blamed for favoring her. The widow with whom the new minister boards, finds an unfinished letter which really is being written to Speakman's sister. The sister's name is Ellen and the milliner's the same, so the letter is an excellent weapon in the hands of a gossip.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a light situational comedy, relying on a classic misunderstanding plot and exploring the mechanisms of village gossip with gentle irony.
What lingers after viewing is the amusing chaos a single misplaced letter can cause in a small community, leaving nothing but a smile. — MovieFinder Editorial
