Rosie is a fascinating music-hall artiste who has captivated the impressionable old Major Kirkham. The Major dances attendance upon her at all times, and makes her life a burden by his constant proposals of marriage. Hazel, the Major's daughter, is in love with Fred Mayer and gazes longingly at his picture when he is absent. Fred has kept out of the Major's way, fearing his irascible temper, and at length persuades the shrinking Hazel to elope with him. In the meantime, the Major has again appeared before Rosie with his inevitable proposal of marriage, and in desperation to get rid of him, tells him that she is married and shows him a photograph which she declares is that of her husband. The Major returns to his office, where he finds a letter from Hazel telling him of her marriage and enclosing her husband's picture. When the Major sees it, he nearly faints. It is the photograph of Rosie's husband. He swears out a warrant for Fred's arrest, and starts in pursuit, accompanied by a squad of police. When he overtakes the auto with Hazel and Fred, the young bridegroom is turned over to the police as a bigamist, and the fainting girl is loaded into her father's car. It seems all up with the happiness of Fred and Hazel until Rosie appears at the police station and explains the joke. Hazel goes away with Rosie's "husband" and the newlyweds are made happy. The Major is cured of a bad temper and his desire to marry the singer. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
