The girl, unknown to her mother, has made a "flirting" acquaintance with the son, who is working in the same town where she is attending school. The girl, too, gets a letter from her mother telling of her marriage. Lee decides to seek the girl for consideration. Meanwhile, in the school where the girl is studying an epidemic of measles breaks out. All the pupils are sent home. Lee is disappointed and decides that it can't be worse at home and leaves to visit his stepmother and father. The girl arrives in her new home and is joyfully greeted by her mother, but finds her stepfather is not at home. Lee, coming home is overcome with joy when he sees the girl he has been thinking of at his home, although he can't understand how she came to be there. The girl, too, sees him and is pleasantly surprised. Shortly after Lee comes in, his father arrives and takes Lee in to meet his new mother. They find her in the garden. Lee greets his new "mother" affectionately, in fact he embraces and her is kissing her, when the girl comes out to get her bearings. She sees Lee in his greetings and takes it for granted that he is her new "father." The mother tells Lee that she would like to have him meet her daughter. They go in and she calls her daughter to come down that she has a surprise for her. But the girl absolutely refuses to come down to meet her new "father." After a great deal of argument on the part of the whole family she is brought out and imagine her joy and surprise to find that Lee is not her "father." The old man takes Lee to one side and tells him that he should take an example from his father and get a good wife.
