His physician tells him he has three months to live, so Peter takes to the open road and falls in with Easy Ed, master hobo. In a colony of tramps he becomes the mentor for the crew. Vivian Palmer, tired of her social program makes a trip with her father to his lumber camp. Peter rescues her from the lake as a matter of course, and pays no further attention to her. Then he gets all the hobos to work in the lumber camp, and becomes camp boss. He makes no secret of his identity, and when the girl reads in a newspaper that a book on ants written by a missing scientist has created a sensation, she recognizes the writer as the young camp boss. Peter, who has forgotten all about dying in his new atmosphere, returns to collect royalties, and resume teaching with his bride as one of his most earnest students.
