One night his friends persuade him to attend a reception. There he meets Frances Walton, but being unaccustomed to "ballroom chatter" he makes many slips and then a getaway in terror. Restaurant food brings on indigestion, and Billie consults his physician. Exercise is recommended and the name of Dr. Walton, a physical culture expert, is suggested. Billie transforms his home into a gym, and sends his butler for Dr. Walton. When the doctor arrives Billie discovers in the physical culture instructor Frances Walton of the reception. Cornered, he accepts and begins the vigorous exercise prescribed. The hardening of muscles brings softening of the heart, and Billie gradually realizes that the love bug has bitten him. With a tremendous effort he hikes himself to the marriage license bureau and returns determined to win her on the next visit. He rehearses the proposal with a mirror and keen for the effort comes down to meet the doctor. Bing, goes the courage and he makes another flight in embarrassment. Frances, however, finds the license dropped in his excitement, and herself in love with Billie, she summons a long bearded dominee, who arrives, and together they corner Billie in his gym. With the butler as a witness they recite "Love, Honor and Obey." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
