An attorney is made acquainted with the plot. A reading of the will is scheduled. And out on parade go the Anns, Jims, Jonathans, Elizabeths, Richards and who not. The jingle of Uncle Sam's money is sweet music to the mob, including the prospective mother-in-law, who dreams of money by the bucketful. She attends the reading. Uncle Sam substitutes himself - in person - for a life-size portrait and listens to the goings-on. A hungry butler sits next to Hero Lee and delights in chopping onions, forcing tears to trickle down the lad's cheeks. Uncle sees them - and selects him as the heir, provided he is married by four o'clock, a condition that pleases her nibs, Mrs. Mother-in-law. In case of failure to marry, the money goes to the "black-sheep" member of the family, who proceeds to break up the marriage plans, but without success. And in the end there is a wedding with every promise that mother-in-law will realize her dream. Written by Motion Picture News, November 10, 1923 See less
