In spite of dire predictions from her mother, Mary Brown marries Oswald Bates, an energetic young businessman. He then is forced to go to Paris alone on their wedding night. Haunted by thoughts of his neglected bride, Oswald seeks to drown his sorrow in Parisian night life. Flirting with Dolly Withers, an American, Oswald is challenged to a duel by Duke Laporte. Through the ineptness of his friend, Gus Billikins, he is jailed; the steamer on which he was to have returned home sinks in mid-Atlantic; and he is declared dead. Posing as a count (with Dolly Withers as his countess), Oswald returns to the United States and obtains a position as a cook for Mary's mother. When he learns that Mary is to marry Bruce Gordon, Oswald reveals his true identity. He and Mary are reconciled, and Dolly discovers that Bruce is her long-lost husband. It all turns out to have been a daydream, however, for Mary and Oswald actually are uneventfully wed.
