A long satirical reminiscence alternates between a lively singable array of Yankee Doodle verses and a chaotic wedding farce. A doctored tale follows a prankster Tompkins sedated by mistaken nuptial plans, a startled bridegroom, and a comic chase across a cottage.
A long anecdote recalls a Yankee farmer nicknamed Griststone for a grindstone test of workers. A clever tramp Jonathan fools the family, wins work tending the mill, marries the farmer’s daughter, and gains control of the farms, while a moral tale contrasts crime, circumstance, and virtue with a lingering cautionary note.
