Harry receives a telegram stating that a later, just-discovered will leaves the entire estate to his cousin Mary, and to appease the impatient landlord, Harry informs him that he will still share in the money, as he is to marry Mary that afternoon. Despite his protests, Jimmy is decked out by Harry in feminine array and paraded before the landlord as the heiress bride. When the real Mary and her chaperone Ethel suddenly appear at the flat, the landlord informs them that Harry is upstairs with his bride, at which Mary is greatly surprised and downcast. Jimmy is introduced as the bride, but when the girls go out he insists that upon their return Harry must tell that "she" is ill, and has retired. When Ethel goes to the kitchen to make the "bride" a cup of tea she discovers Harry and Mary in fond embrace, and feels more sympathetic than ever toward the unhappy Jimmy, who during her absence gets up dresses in his own clothes and attempts to sneak out, only to be seen by Ethel. Harry is called to nab the strange man, and the girls discover Jimmy's discarded feminine togs, so the boys finally decide that their only course is to make a clean breast of the whole affair. It turns out that everyone is satisfied--even the landlord, who perceives the likelihood of eventually renting two flats. Written by Moving Picture World, August 11, 1917 See less
