The young man wagers $10,000 with Bunyon that he will marry his daughter in spite of his objections. Bunyon takes his bet. A suit of armor standing in the hall of Bunyon's home is very much in need of repair. An armorer is brought in and carries it off to his shop. An idea comes to young Lansdale to bribe the armorer to let him get inside of it when it is returned to Bunyon's home and in this way secure an interview with Blanche. The armor is returned the next night with Lansdale inside of it. Blanche's Great Dane, "Panther," sees the suit move, and attacks it. Blanche, who is locked in her room under the care of her crabbed old maid, hears the confusion and the two women run down into the hall. Blanche recognizes Harry's voice, pulls the dog away and locks it in another room. Harry tells Blanche how he got into the house and proposes that they elope at once. She hastily agrees, and he, with the suit of armor on, and she, without coat or hat, jump into a passing automobile and drive to a clergyman without delay. Old Bunyon discovers the absence of the cherished antique. When he is told that it has eloped with his daughter he goes in pursuit. But too late. Lansdale marries his daughter, wins the $10,000 from his father-in-law, which he pays like the good sport he is, he not only giving Harry a check, but his blessing, showing that he appreciates a coup, even if it is at his expense.
