Bob is engaged to Elsie, daughter of millionaire Bond. Old Bond, peeved at Bob, terminates his engagement with Elsie, instead he plans that she shall wed Mr. Blossom, an effeminate society individual. On the night of the wedding, Bob, rather than see the girl of his heart married to a mush-head, goes to spend the evening with Jake. He finds that Jake has just been summoned to Elsie's home, a troublesome water-pipe leak, directly over the drawing room, causing the marriage ceremony to be postponed. When Jake and Bob reach the residence, Bob, presumably there as an invited guest, secretly instructs Jake to make the leak worse, instead of better. Jake performs bis part well. The butlers, footmen, maids and chauffeurs forming a bucket brigade to carry away the waste water are worked to death. The guests grow nervous and irritated. Bob sends up word to Elsie to feign hysterics. She does so and Bob, exercising his prerogative as a physician, bars everybody from the room, including the prospective bride-groom, while he and Elsie indulge in a carnival of hugs and kisses. Jake luxuriates in the bath-room while the leak grows worse and worse. In desperation Elsie's parents decide to have the ceremony performed in another room. Elsie is forcibly taken down stairs for the wedding and Bob, realizing he is about to lose her, again appeals to Jake for assistance. Jake solves matters by disconnecting the electric wiring and plunging the entire house in darkness. In the general confusion and darkness he contrives to get Elsie and Bob up to her own room, where they are married by a minister. Jake then switches on the lights, showing everybody hugging someone else. The frantic parents locate Bob and Elsie too late. They are already man and wife, thanks to Jake.
