Father wires him to hurry home and get $50,000 as a wedding present. Glen receives the wire but he can't remember getting married. He has been on a big party and he recalled very few events of the evening. But to get the $50,000 he has to produce a wife. He asks his roommate, Lloyd, to find one for him. But Lloyd fails to locate a suitable one after an exhaustive search, and returns home disgusted. Glen tells Lloyd he will have to dress as the wife. Lloyd is fitted out in female attire, and they set out for the home of Glen's father. When they arrive, the family immediately takes to the new bride. Estelle, the pretty daughter, makes quite a fuss over the bogus wife. Father, a frisky old gent, also gets smitten with the bride and makes himself a general nuisance. Henry, the son, becomes jealous and tries to take out his spite on the bride. Lloyd is annoyed by these attentions and plays some rough game with the men. Henry decides the bride has a wooden leg. He and father plan to find out if this is true by using needles. But their trick recoils on them, and the fake bride is greatly upset. Everything is finally straightened out satisfactorily when Lloyd takes off his wig and tells Estelle he is a man. Written by Press Sheet from Library of Congress See less
