Every afternoon she sits at the window with a novel and her cat, and incidentally flirts with Jonathan Biggs, a bachelor who occupies a room directly opposite hers, in the house next door. One afternoon Miranda's cat, in company with another feline, gives a high pitched concert on the back fence and rudely disturbs old Biggs' peaceful slumber. He quickly demonstrates his antipathy for cats by shying the heaviest missile he can lay hands on and with good effect, for Miranda's cat falls to the ground with a thud, apparently dead. Not wishing to incur Miranda's enmity, he hastily descends to the yard, places the limp body of the cat in a bag and buries it under a tree a short distance up the road. Two tramps hiding behind the tree silently observe this proceeding and when Biggs leaves, they feverishly dig up the bag thinking it contains a treasure, only to find a dead cat. Meanwhile Miranda has missed her cat and is frantically searching high and low for it. To make matters worse, she catches her niece in the act of eloping with Dick Perkins, whom she berates and drives from the premises. To escape Miranda's wrath, Dick doesn't let the grass grow under his feet. Up the road he passes Biggs, who is returning from the cat burial, and a little farther on Dick comes upon the two tramps and discovers Aunt Miranda's cat, not dead, but alive, having been stunned. With due haste Dick returns the cat to Miranda's house. Suffice it to say she is overjoyed to recover her darling cat; while, on the other hand, Biggs is so startled at the cat's return that he nearly faints. Dick threatens to tell all he knows. Biggs quickly sees the point and induces Miranda to give her consent and blessing to the young couple after which old Biggs pops the question, Miranda accepts him and all ends well.
