The engagement rings of all of her victims she keeps as trophies, and carries them suspended by a ribbon to her fan handle. Bob hears that his brother, Jack, is the latest victim of Betty's whimsicalities. Jack, in despair, begins to let drink get the better of him. Bob, angered at Betty's trickery, determines to teach her a lesson. He secures an introduction to her and soon proposes. Betty accepts. A few days later comes the note breaking off the engagement and Bob's ring is added to those of four other victims. Bob now proceeds to carry out his plan. He takes all of Betty's rejected suitors to her house and a minister, for he realizes that he is really in love with her. He interrupts a ball at Betty's home, carries her by force into an adjoining room, forces her to apologize to the suitors she has tricked and then compels her to live up to her agreement to marry him. Betty is forced to marry Bob. As soon as the ceremony is completed, she breaks away and flies up to her room. Bob follows, forces an entrance to the room and proceeds to lay down the law to his wife. All of the trickery in her rebellious heart rises to the surface. She assumes a subdued air and even coyly invites Bob to kiss her goodnight. As he bends toward her to do so she hits him over the head with a flower vase and escapes from the room. Bob, half-stunned, crashes in the door with a chair, determined to follow her. Betty, still dressed in her ballroom finery boards a train for a suburban hamlet. Two crooks, intent upon burglary, follow her. Bob, in mad pursuit, just misses the train and races with it in his car until Betty's destination is reached. The sheriff of a rube town offers to shelter Betty with his wife for the night. The crooks secretly follow her. Bob arrives a few moments later and finds out where Betty is staying. He. too, starts for the sheriff. Betty orders the arrest of a man following her, and Bob, upon his arrival at the sheriff's home, is immediately arrested. As the sheriff leads the indignant Bob to his own automobile and prepares to haul him a prisoner back to the village, Bob hears Betty's screams. He breaks away from the sheriff and rushes back into the house to find her struggling with the crooks. He puts the thieves to root, and they are taken into custody. As Betty recovers from the severe ordeal she has just gone through, she looks up into Bob's face and realizes that after all it is best to obey a husband.
