He meets Mrs. De Knickerbocker, who has a son, Tom. Mrs. De Knickerbocker is aristocratic but poor. Needing money, she conceives the idea of marrying Tom to Nellie, the packer's daughter. Packer is delighted. Tom and Nellie write notes to their respective parents refusing absolutely to be tied up and suggesting that the parents marry. The suggestion is taken up, for Mrs. De Knickerbocker is sadly in need of funds and Packer is determined to get into society. Meanwhile Tom and Nellie accidentally arrive at the same beach resort and each registers under a fictitious name. The afternoon of his arrival Tom helps some kids on the beach build a tall sand man. That night Nellie goes for a walk in the moonlight, followed by Tom. Black Joe and Nifty Kid see the glitter of gems on Nellie's hands and follow her. The thugs are attacking her when Tom comes up. He sends The Kid to the sand with a sharp blow and tackles Joe. The girl is freed. Horrified, she sees The Kid recover and draw a gun to shoot Tom. Nellie topples the sand man over on the Kid and the villains are captured. Nellie and Tom are now acquainted, and fearing a mere summer flirtation, each decides to test the other. Nellie announces to Tom that she is not rich, but merely a cloak model taking her vacation as a swell. He then tells her that he is a plumber and poor. Then Mr. and Mrs. John Packer arrive. Recognition, consternation, forgiveness and then delight ensue. The old folks needn't have married after all, but the double deal in pork has been put through nevertheless.
