To the chagrin of Paul, Mildred's boy chum, the doll becomes her adored companion. He even catches Mildred bestowing a kiss upon the painted unresponsive cheek of his "rival." Paul, in a fit of jealousy, slips out of the house, steals the doll from Mildred and hides it in his own bureau. That night the doll comes out of the hiding place and escapes. Paul gives chase. The doll mounts a pony and Paul does likewise, but the doll has the lead and reaches Mildred first. She elopes with him; Paul in pursuit. Mildred and the doll arrive at the minister's and are married before Paul reaches the place, but Paul, having supplied himself with his father's sword, arrives before the couple leave and runs the sword right through. Paul wakes up just at this melodramatic crisis, tiptoes over and finds the doll safe in the bureau, so he does what any other wise, tired boy would do, curls up under the warm blankets with a sigh of content.
