The day after the performance, "Bunch" makes an engagement to take a real chorus girl to dinner. Unexpectedly his mother comes to college to visit him and he makes Tom take the girl. He reluctantly consents, as he is engaged to Evelyn Marshall. While Tom and the chorus girl are dining in the restaurant, Evelyn comes in with a part of friends. She is astonished, and exceedingly vexed when Tom's companion pats him under the cabin. Evelyn makes her presence known to Tom and breaks their engagement. He tells her that the young lady is his sister and he would like to have her call at her room the next day and see her. Tom hurries to his room, and tells "Bunch" the mess he has got him in, and that he will have to help him out of it by impersonating his sister, using the same costume as he used in the play the night before. "Bunch" agrees and succeeds in carrying out his part of the contract until Tom places him in the folding couch to give him a chance to talk to Evelyn alone. While Evelyn and Tom are sitting on the couch, "Bunch" succeeds in releasing himself from his imprisonment, and rushes from the house, where he is arrested by a policeman for masquerading in woman's attire, he induces the policeman to go to his room and get Tom's identification, which Tom tantalizingly refuses to give, until he sees the joke has gone far enough. The policeman smilingly withdraws. Tom and "Bunch" explain matters to Evelyn and he consents to forgive Tom, and re-accepts her engagement ring. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
