The Girl Hater Synopsis
Arthur puts spots on his face to make his mother think he has chicken-pox, so he will not have to meet a certain girl he understands is very ugly. His mother calls the doctor. Arthur fixes the doctor to tell his mother that he has chicken-pox and to quarantine the house. The girl, who really is very pretty, calls him through his window and promises to save him the first dance at her party. He gets dressed, but is foiled by a boy friend, who tells his mother that he is trying to sneak away. They tie him up in bed. He unties the rope and sneaks off to the party, but his friends tell the girl's mother that he has chicken-pox and they all run away from him. They call for an ambulance. The doctor says Arthur is well, but goes outside and finds his tattle-tale friend really sick. They sit down at a piano and kiss.
