Harry Jones was favored until mamma reads in the newspaper that Mr. Brown has become heir to $30,000. This freezes Jones out, so he "gets rich quick" by writing on a newspaper bulletin-board that he has inherited $30,000,000. Jones' stock "booms." However, both Brown and Jones appear with a minister, when mamma receives a letter: "Dear Mamma: If you wish to see Jones and Brown married, marry them yourself. Nellie," she having eloped with Tom.
