Vic embraces her and announces that ten o'clock that night will be the hour for the happy event. Jim Norton, who is also a suitor for Doris' hand, starts out to try to prevent Doris' marriage to Vic. Vic and Doris go to get their marriage license, and then Vic goes home to prepare for the wedding. He takes a bath, and Norton and his friend steal all of his clothes. Vic is in a dilemma until his friend, Bill Morris, who is dressed in his evening clothes, calls. Vic pleads with him to lend him his dress clothes, as it is then ten o'clock. Morris agrees, and though much too small for Vic, he manages to squeeze into them. He leaves his friend dressed in a bathrobe. He runs for a car and drops his hat near a traffic signal and tries to pick it up; but as the trousers are too tight he finds it impossible to do so. Holding on to the traffic signal, and balancing himself, he finally gets the hat. Norton, who has followed, handcuffs him to the traffic signal, so when Vic gets up and starts to leave he has to take the traffic signal with him. He arrives at a thoroughfare and works the "stop and go" signal. One machine stops, and the occupant agrees to help him, so Vic gets into the motor car. Norton has also secured a marriage license, and tells Doris Vic is handcuffed, and the key which he exhibits is the only one which will open the handcuffs. He drops the key in a mail box, and Doris tries to get it. One of her rings gets caught, and it is impossible to get her hand free. It is now a quarter to twelve, and Norton offers to marry her, but she refuses. Vic, with the traffic sign, comes up in the motor car and sends for the minister who happens to be tongue-tied, and who manages to get them married before the necessary hour. The letter carrier arrives and frees Doris, who gets the key and releases Vic. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
