Eddie tells the old man that he will go in business and make a fortune. He sets up a broker's office, and waits for clients. Betty tells him that she overheard her father telling someone to buy B.V.&D. Eddie does so, and the bottom drops out of the market. Then Betty finds out that father was ordering underwear, not stocks. But Eddie had forgotten that he had a wealthy uncle in Turkey. One day he received a letter from him, saying that he was sending his nephew his Turkish treasures, as ho could no longer keep them safely on account of the war. Of course, Eddie fell for the treasures, and so did Betty's father and mother when he told them the news. A few days later they arrived in charge of Mogul Hassan Pfeffer. Eddie went to meet them, and was flabbergasted to find that the treasures were five beautiful wives. They insisted upon being taken to Eddie's home, though he had invited Betty and her mother there, and was afraid to take five girls to meet them. But Hassan's sword compelled him. The girls delighted with all they saw. Just then Betty and her mother came in, and Eddie hustled the girls into the bedroom. But one of them comes running out, and Betty's mother is furious and takes Betty home. That night Eddie's engagement was to be announced final. He goes home to dress, and finds all the wives in his bed. He calls Hassen and has them taken out so that he can dress for the party. They follow, however, and arrive in the midst of the party. At last Eddie is given a chance to explain that this is his uncle's harem. When Hassan opens the box he is carrying and shows all the jewels within, Betty and her mother are reconciled.
