He loves Mertle Mae but is not so sure about taking on dear old dad. He finds an old folks home in Cleveland, but Mertle Mae can't bring herself to put him there even though she knows Frank is her big chance in life
Dad, more aware than the lovers realize, informs Casey that he will allow himself to be traded to Cleveland after all
