She is heir to considerably money which her avaricious guardian covets with an unrestrained and unconcealed greed. He decides that he can get a good share of the money if he can affect a marriage between May and Sam, his son. May's sweetheart, Sam Rodney, manages to retain his place in May's heart, and Sam Berry, a pedantic, bearded fellow, whom May apparently thinks too scientific for her, is obliged to give up his fight for May's affection. He is a good sport, however, and is a party to a little stratagem whereby May goes out with young Rodney without her guardian's knowledge. Sam Berry, in the meantime, loves Ellen Lucre and another clever move is made by the ingenious quartet as a result of which Rodney is wedded to May and Sam Berry is married to Ellen. Sam Berry conceives the idea that if Sam Rodney gets a beard and Dr. Berry's glasses are "mislaid" for the time being, that Rodney will be mistaken for Berry and the doctor will consent to the wedding. Rodney is equipped with a beard and Sam Berry purloins his father's glasses. The result is that when May puts the question, the old miser cannot get to the minister with the couple soon enough. Dr. Berry listens gleefully as the minister asks, "Sam, do you take May as your legally wedded wife?" Young Berry is off getting married to Ellen in the meantime, and when the glasses are restored and the truth learned, there is a scene. The old man is comforted, however, upon being informed that Ellen has $987 more than May. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
