This animated cartoon, which is the second of the Goldberg series, tells the story of a forty-seven-year-old maiden who would have been more popular if all men were nearsighted. The maid is described as Miss Ophelia Fade-Out, whose face has frightened all the children in the neighborhood, but who, nevertheless, still hopes to "chloroform some poor simp into matrimony." She gives orders to the janitor to hold a sack under the sidewalk and "wait for my future husband to drop into it." Then she rigs up a contrivance with the manhole whereby the unwary will drop through and be bagged. But the men who pass are watched over by a special Providence and she is at last forced to the extremity of taking a tailor's dummy to the justice of the peace.
