She is willing to do so, but insists that her husband have a title, so her father brings her to the office of the matrimonial agent, and puts an order in for a Count. Bleary and Weary, a couple of tramps, awake one morning and as they are hungry and broke, they hold up the first ones they see. This happens to be a Count Bonehead and his valet. They take their clothes when they find out that the Count is also broke. Later, they see the sign of the matrimonial agent. Entering, they are informed that a Count is in demand, so they are brought to the home of Madge. There they are almost discovered as impostors, through the odd things that they do. However, all arrangements are made for the wedding to take place the morning following. Being broke, they are forced to lodge in a stable that night. In the morning, as payment for the lodging, they are forced to clean a horse, and are doing this while the guests and minister await them at the home of Madge. The real Count and valet awake from sleeping on the ground all night, and start up the street. They arrive at the stable at the moment of the leaving of the tramps. There is a battle from which the Count and valet come out second best. The tramps hurry to the home of Madge. The ceremony is almost over when the Count and valet arrive at the house. The tramps are exposed. Madge wants a title anyhow, and as the real Count wants her money they are married. The tramps on the outside are eating a long-deferred meal.
