Jane's Engagement Party Synopsis

Tony, the beloved of Wanda, starts things off hilariously by providing his mother-in-law to be with the first thrill she has had in thirty years by taking her home in a motorcycle side-car. Narrow escapes galore and finally a wreck. Then the engagement party of her daughter. The villain, a bigamist for whom the police are looking, has ambitions of adding Jane to the collection of wives. He is in a fair way to do so until Tony discovers from a newspaper story that the chap who is wrecking the engagement party, his happiness and his face is the man wanted. He gets him by bringing in a bunch of kids who have been subsidized with a nickel bribe to claim the impostor as their father, Tony, with dress and veil, pretending to be one of the deserted wives.

However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
