While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.

Peggy is a fascinating female who, after bidding her soldier lover a fond farewell, turns again quickly to the beloved pursuit of man eating. Invited to be one of a gay picnic party, she not only is successful in winning the admiration of the unmarried and much engaged young men of the party, but fastens her talons on the only married member. A conspiracy worked up by the women while the men go swimming, in which they hire a farm-hand to be caught by the young woman in a game of blind man's bluff, only goes to prove how little faith can be placed in the best laid plans of mice and women. The young woman in a fit of fright rushes frantically to the stream where the men are swimming, and is soon the center of masculine attraction again.

A simple old story of the girl who longs to yield to her lover's appeal that they be married at once, but hesitates to break the news to "pa." The elopement is there, too; but "pa," having overheard a certain telephone conversation between the contracting parties, is also on the job. His tactics are quite different, however, from those of the usual moving picture "pa." This particular gentleman merely steps up to the prospective bridegroom waiting in the moonlight beside the taxi, taps him on the arm and suggests they make it a daylight affair - "why not advertise and get the benefit of the wedding presents?" The suggestion is well taken and a month later an artistically staged wedding takes place.
