A pretty maiden, basket on arm, leaves the farm yard and heads for the woods to pick fruit. The course takes her through woods abounding in beautiful rustic scenes. Finally reaching the objective spot, she leaves her basket on the ground and with the aid of a ladder climbs up to the branches of the tree from which she plucks some fruit. A young man happens on the scene, and gallantly lends his services in passing the basket up to her, after which act he removes the ladder and playfully threatens to leave her up there unless she will permit him to “pick a cherry” from her lips. She finally prevails upon him to permit her to descend, but she refuses the reward that he claims. Acceding to her request, he climbs up the tree to pick more fruit, and to punish him for his former bold advances, she removes the ladder and struts away, leaving him up in the air, wildly gesticulating for relief. The last scene is a colored and close view of the buxom maiden munching cherries and mischievously winking and smiling at the audience as she decorates her ears and neck with ripe cherries.
