Billy receives word that the slump in lumber has almost ruined him. About the same time Leah is notified that her bank has failed. Both are notified that they must pay their bills at the hotel and get out within three days. Billy spends his last mark on a lottery ticket, the prize of which is fifty thousand dollars. He then places an ad in the paper announcing that he is a young man with expectations of $50,000 and that he desires to meet a young lady of means with matrimonial intentions. However, prior to this Billy and Leah have seen each other and fallen in love at first sight. Leah reads the advertisement and decides to appear on the appointed spot. But she is not the only one present; German women of all ages are looking for a good thing. Billy arrives, looks the women over and is about to give up when his eye lights on Leah. Both believing the other has money, they arrange to marry immediately. They taxi to the church, but haven't enough money to pay the driver off. Each is forced to confess to their financial condition. The driver calls a policeman. The pair are about to be carried to jail when a newsboy rushes past, announcing the winning number of the lottery ticket. Billy has won. Then Billy remembers that he left the ticket on the seat where he and Leah met. He rushes back and is overwhelmed by the waiting ladies. Fortunately though, he is able to find the lottery ticket and through the assistance of the policeman, he escapes with Leah to be married after all, while twelve broken hearts decide to search other fields for useful husbands.
