He writes, telling her he has at last settled down and is happily married. Aunt Mary, a little surprised and suspicious at such a sudden change, intends to investigate for herself. Norton receives notification of Aunt Mary's visit, one hour before her arrival. Taken unawares, he tries to persuade several girl acquaintances to become his wife at once. Not succeeding, he beguiles his chum, Baxter, to play the part during Aunt Mary's visit. Baxter, for want of a costume, robs his wife's wardrobe. Mrs. Baxter being away on a visit, returns unexpectedly, discovers the loss of her clothes, telephones the police, who follow down the clues and arrest the plotters before Aunt Mary's arrival.
