Two young men, motoring through the country, invade the orchard and help themselves to the fruit. Denham, seizing a shotgun, pursues them. One of them escapes, while the other young man, Jack Ainsley, is helped to safety by Mary. Denham's daughter. In a mischievous frame of mind, she terms Ainsley the "orange bandit." Mary visits friends and there meets the "orange bandit" again. Their acquaintanceship ripens into love, but Denham recognizes in his daughter's suitor the "orange bandit," and refuses his consent. Fearing an elopement, he starts for the home of a maiden sister, who can be relied upon to guard Mary closely. A reckless "joy rider" upsets the old man's plans. Defying the speed laws, a country constable telephones ahead to have the reckless motorist arrested. In the meantime, "the joy rider," fearing arrest, changes licensed numbers with Denham. The latter is arrested and clapped into jail, leaving Mary alone. Jack opportunely arrives and the two lovers seize the opportunity to get married while Denham is powerless to interfere. The guilty motorist is arrested, but when Mary's father is freed she has become Jack's wife, so that all that is left for him is to say, "Bless you, my children," and he does so with as good grace as possible.
