Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Schultz’s daughter, Mandy, has given her heart to Bob, a fine young fellow, except that he has no money. This is papa’s objection and argument in favor of Heinie, who, although rather elderly, possesses wealth. Now, Bob has a giddy spinster sister, Sophia, who, although well fixed with money, has never had an offer of marriage. She writes all about this lamentable fact in her diary “Oh, how gladly I’d give $10,000 for a life mate.” This diary falls into the hands of her brother Bob shortly after he is refused Mandy’s hand. Bob tells his love troubles to Sophia, who advises to elope. Bob and Mandy take this advice. They are discovered by Schultz and Heinie, who pursue them. To escape the irate Shultz and Heinie, Mandy and Bob rush to Sophia’s house and take refuge in the latter’s boudoir, dragging with them the minister. Bob disguises himself in one of Sophia’s dresses and her false curls. When the enraged Schultz bursts open the boudoir door he is greeted by what he thinks is an adorable woman. Bob, blushing, lowers his veil. Later, Schultz proposes marriage to the supposed woman. Bob, with joy, sees his chance to win the $10,000 offered by Sophia for a soulmate. He excuses himself and in another room forces Sophia to don his dress, including veil. Sophia, bewildered, is then showed into the room with Schultz. Hardly believing her ears, Sophia accepts his offer and they are married on the spot. Bob then claims the $10,000, which is gladly given him. Schultz discovers the imposition, but learning that Sophia is wealthy, decides that nothing could be better.
