The story

Amos Babcock Bellamy and Ben Hucklebee scheme to get their respective children, Luisa and Matt, to fall in love. Knowing they will resist their fathers' interference, the two men use reverse psychology and fabricate a feud, building a wall between their houses and forbidding their children to speak to each other. When their plan works, they enlist the aid of El Gallo, the proprietor of a traveling carnival, to put an end to their supposed disagreement in a manner which will not reveal their deception.
