When leaving, he bumps into Betty, the daughter of a wealthy widower, who is also leaving on the same train. Ernie has never seen Betty before, but she looks mighty good to him. They meet often and become fast friends. Betty has promised father she will not marry. She forgets, however, and marries Ernie. In the meantime the father and mother have met with the same fate. Father sends Betty a telegram, telling her about his marriage, and that, as he has told the wife he had no children, it would be best for her to act as maid until they could arrange matters with the stepmother. The parents return. Ernie is in hot water until he decides to act as butler. Everything goes right until the father discovers his wife in the butler's arms. He is only kept from killing the butler by the maid. The mother sees the maid embracing the husband and more trouble starts. Later explanations are made after the father has seen his daughter in the butler's arms, and the two couples are happy again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
