Freckles and Vera are at the house of the Rev. I.M Goode. The ceremony is about to be concluded, when Vera's father arrives. The angry parent brings the ceremony to an abrupt conclusion and takes his weeping daughter to the home of his sister. While Vera is packing her trunk, Freckles peeps through the window and is inspired to a last bold stroke. Vera leaves the room. Freckles enters through the window. He empties the trunk and packs himself inside. An expressman arrives and the trunk with its human cargo, is dispatched to Vera's home. After the manner of expressmen, the trunk is ruthlessly banged about. After enduring all the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," the trunk is finally deposited in Vera's room. In the meantime, the Rev Goode has fallen in love with Vera. He has followed the father and daughter to their home, and is pressing his suit. Freckles is in the trunk, head downward. His call reaches the ears of the expressman and he concludes that the father is a white slaver. The expressman summons the police. The trunk is opened and Freckles steps smiling forth. The father's anger again descends upon Freckles, who escapes from the room down a dumbwaiter. The father and police pursue him. Freckles traps and locks them all in the kitchen, returns to Vera and compels the Rev. Goode once more to begin the marriage ceremony. Written by
