She decides to spend her summer among strangers, with her brother Bob, and forget. At a summer hotel, they are mistaken for a newly-married couple, and both agree to keep up the deception for a joke. The "newly-weds" become acquainted with Earle Hewlett and his sister Betty. Bob fails in love with Betty and Jane is obliged to remind him several times he is supposed to be a married man and must first ask his "wife" if she wishes to dance. Brother and sister soon find their joke is not as much fun as they anticipated, but Jane refuses to allow Bob to explain. Jane and Earle then fall deeply in love, and he, being an honorable man, rather than confess his love to a married woman, decides to go away. Womanlike, she decides to test him. She tells Earle of her love for him and he seizes her in a passionate embrace. Betty and Bob see them and she says, "Look at my brother and your wife." Bob is tickled to death for a moment, then remembers his "part" and pretends anger. He denounces Earle and hugely enjoys Jane's poorly-concealed anger and vexation. Jane then confesses to Earle and Betty, and to get even with Bob, Betty confesses love for him, and he seizes her in his arms. Then Earle appears and gives Bob, a married man, a good "raking over," for hugging his sister. After an awful minute, all burst into laughter, and soon the two happy couples, Jane and Earle and Bob and Betty, are looking forward to a double wedding.
