While Mabel is out of town, Ivy is introduced to William Henry Jones, a wealthy young man. He is very near-sighted and without his glasses almost blind. Ivy foolishly writes Mabel the wealthy Mr. Jones is calling on her. Mabel is furiously jealous and comes home post haste. When Jones sees Mabel, he is dazzled and Ivy is temporarily forgotten. Shortly afterwards Mr. Jones breaks his glasses and when he meets Mabel does not recognize her. She is astounded and decides the man must be intoxicated. Jones goes on to Mabel's home and proposes to Ivy, whom he believes to be Mabel. She is rather confused but gladly consents to their engagement. Mabel arrives home and Ivy ecstatically tells her of her engagement, exhibiting a ring as proof. Mabel is terribly angry. Jones receives Mr. Smyles' consent to marry Mabel and Papa Smyles congratulates her. She insists it is Ivy who is engaged to Jones. Smyles, greatly puzzled, writes Jones a strong letter. Ivy visits her fiancé and asks him what it all means. He explains his mistake, but tells her he has decided he really loves her (Ivy) after all. Looking closely at the girl to make sure he is talking to the right one, Jones takes her in his arms and they are soon planning their coming marriage.
