George Reynolds, a widower, has a heart of flint, for he refuses to permit Vivian, his daughter, to keep company with her dear Romeo. The stern father selects Allen Baker, son of an old friend, as the man who is to marry Vivian. On the sly, however, father is courting the buxom and debonair Lilly Smith. Not for the world would he have his daughter know of his courtship. However Vivian and Romeo conclude to elope. Father also concludes to elope with the fair Lilly Smith without the knowledge of his daughter. Both couples appear simultaneously at the parsonage. There is a whole lot of explanation before affairs are finally settled.
