In fact, so strong is their aversion to the fair sex that they have made an iron-bound agreement that the first who pays attention to a woman will forfeit to the other the sum of $50,000. This agreement they have framed and placed conspicuously in their room. The widow is a "merry one" and arrives at the same place where Max and uncle stay. She finds much to admire in uncle, and when uncle gives her the stony stare she asks the clerk about him and learns his hatred of the eternal feminine. A party of Max's friends are on an outing on a houseboat, and knowing Max's aversion to anything feminine, persuade him to come, telling him that the party is strictly a "stag one." Max comes, but is sore and angry when he finds that there are women present, among them being Lillie, whose brother is giving the party. He tries to avoid Lillie, but her charms are too enduring for that and they finally become very chummy. Max in a moment of indiscretion puts his arm about the girl and the others catch him in the act. Fearful that she will lose him, Lillie insists upon an immediate marriage, which is performed. Max tells of the agreement and they agree to keep the marriage a secret. The couple set out to see uncle. Uncle meanwhile has not been asleep and finds much pleasure in the widow's company. The widow finally gets him in a receptive mood and while they are embracing are caught by the valet, who, fearing uncle has lost his mind, hastily writes Max to hurry home. When Max arrives uncle, in order to tool him, has the widow disguise as a valet, but when Max asks the valet to bathe him there is trouble in the camp. Max meanwhile, to fool uncle, disguises Lillie as a valet, and the two women confront each other and penetrate the disguises. Explanations are in order and things are finally straightened out. The two men agree to call off the agreement, as they both fell in love at about the same time and the two couples are left happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
