Shortly following the incarceration, a fuzzy-faced professor from the college invaded the jail and after arranging for the liberation of the two miscreants, informed them that each had been expelled from the school. When Bob reached home the news of his disgrace had preceded him. His father forced him to accept a proposition to marry and settle down to a quiet life within a month and receive $5,000 or be disinherited. Bob carried the news to Lee. Lee had made a hit as a woman impersonator in their college plays and this was his opportunity to vindicate himself as an actor. Bob introduced Lee as his prospective wife. His father mother and sister were delighted. Within a month the solemn ceremony was performed. The happy couple settled in a new bungalow. However, Lee began to tire of the role he was playing. Bob's sister and her friend Alice, came to visit the newlyweds. Lee was placed in a most delicate position when the two girls began to talk confidentially. Lee fell in love with Bob's sister. On the other hand, Bob tell in love with Alice. She refused to listen to advances from a married man. Finally Lee became desperate. He discarded his wig and skirts, dressed as a man and left the house. Alice saw a man leaving and immediately suspected Bob's wife of perfidy. An investigation was made. Bob swore his wife had eloped. The father and mother arrived to console Bob. His embarrassment came to a climax when Alice discovered Lee's wig and skirts in a bureau drawer. Bob confessed to the deception but offered to make up for his transgression by immediately marrying Alice. She was more than willing and Bob's sister held the same sentiments in regard to Lee.
