With a yell, he dashes through the crowd, promising himself never to flirt again, but a pretty young thing passing makes him forget his resolutions immediately. When he accosts her, she indignantly tears up his card, gives him a withering look and marches into the house. Hughey asks a grocer boy who lives there and is told "Miss Powell." Hughey makes note of the address and name and determines to call on the charming maiden. As it happens, however, Florence, the girl in question, is simply visiting her aunt, Flora Powell, there, and happens to have a beau of her own. Consequently, when Hughey sends a big bunch of flowers, with his card and a note, the young people give them to the other "Miss Powell," the maiden aunt. Flora is delighted and promises to keep the tryst suggested in Hughey's note. She meets him in the park and Hughey gets another shock when Flora lifts her veil. Flo and Tom, her beau, who have been watching nearby, have a great laugh as Hughey hurriedly beats it. But Flora has taken the affair seriously and Tom walks into Hughey's apartment with two pistols and in melodramatic style, orders the frightened Hughey to follow him. Hughey does so without hesitation and on arrival at Flora's home, the Justice of the Peace is sent for, but Hughey manages to escape from his captor, and an exciting chase follows which winds up in the circus. There Hughey is caught trying to pass himself off as Fatima, the Fat Lady, and given his choice between marrying Kate, the Bearded Lady, and Flora, he chooses the latter.
