Jerry meets several candidates for his lot in life and leads them to the Eugenic Bureau, where one after the other they are disqualified. Jerry finally makes the mistake of his life and sends for six girls to meet him at one time. He leads his collection of would-be brides to the examining physician who promptly rejects all but one, a large, healthy but heavy maiden. The disappointed girls are determined to wreak vengeance upon Jerry with their fists and umbrellas, but he races with his abundant prize to the minister. All seems clear for a happy ending when the minister demands Jerry's certificate. He rushes to the bureau for examination. He is immediately rejected.
