Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Frank and Neva are deeply in love and wish to marry. Neva’s parents tell Frank they are too young to wed. Greatly disappointed, the lovers plan to elope. Their plans are overheard by two children, who promptly imitate Frank and Neva. Neva’s father hears the children talking and immediately “gets wise.” The parents discuss the matter and decide that the best thing to do is to let the young folks marry. He brings a minister to the house and waits for Frank and Neva to elope. He hears Frank whistle. Neva and Frank start away. Father holds them up with the gun. He marches them into the house where the minister is waiting to marry them. They are greatly and agreeably surprised, as the hundred wedding guests whom the father and mother has invited shower them with congratulations and best wishes.
