Short for a son-in-law. Grace protests strongly. Jerry writes his sweetheart a note planning an elopement but before reaching its destination it is discovered by the butler and given to the father. Grace is locked in her room and a plan of action is formulated to prevent the elopement. The elopement fails but with results not anticipated by the father. Next morning Grace sends a note to Jerry and plans means for escape. In a very amusing manner she eludes her father and meets Jerry at the appointed place. Here unknown to the lovers two toughs spy them and hide behind them. While Jerry is preparing for a little osculatory exercise and Grace has her eyes closed in anticipation each tough steals a kiss, Grace opening her eyes sees the toughs and she and Jerry run off in a panic. In the meanwhile the father, discovering the disappearance of his daughter, starts out after the runaway couple accompanied by Mr. Short who has come to ask for Grace's hand. While the toughs are congratulating themselves on their experience the father and Mr. Short appear. The latter are held up, forced to exchange garments and are started on their way by a couple of shots from the toughs' revolvers. These shots attract the attention of nearby hunters. The tramps plan to escape suspicion and one of them falls to the ground pretending to be hurt. When the hunters come up the other tramp informs them that his comrade has been shot by the fleeing parties and the hunters immediately give chase. Meantime Jerry and Grace are enjoying themselves at a picnic with a great crowd of friends when into their midst rush the father and Short pursued by the hunters. One of the hunters accidentally drops his gun and Jerry immediately seizes it firing it off promiscuously. Alarmed by the havoc he has wrought, Jerry rushes out to the road and here sees the tramps. Realizing the situation he marches the toughs to the picnic grounds at the point of the gun. There the father and Short are rehabilitated in their proper garments, the toughs are taken into custody and Jerry and Grace receive the parental blessing.
