Her father looks with disfavor on his suit for his daughter's hand, preferring that Juanita marry Don Nedro, a wealthy Mexican. On being forbidden the house, Jose writes the following note to Juanita: "Dearest Juanita: I will be waiting for you in the garden. Ever thine, Jose." Just as Juanita starts on her way to meet her lover, Don Nedro appears and endeavors to make love to her. Her father appears at this juncture and effusively greets the rich Mexican forgetting his daughter. Juanita hastens to her lover, dropping the note as she goes. Don Nedro, who has long wanted to marry the old gentleman s daughter, suggests that Juanita and he get married immediately and offers Don Pedro gold in return for his daughter. The old man readily accepts, and on searching for Juanita, they come across the note which she has dropped. Hastening to the garden, they find Juanita and Jose. Commanding his daughter to go to her room, he tells her she must marry Don Nedro at once and sends for a priest to perform the ceremony. In the meantime. Jose and Don Nedro have quarreled, and Don Nedro is knocked down. Juanita, who has been locked in her room, comes out on her balcony and observes Jose anxiously watching her window. They arrange to elope and, on placing a ladder at her window, they disappear down the orange grove. Gardeners, Don Nedro, father and priest give chase to the lovers, and Jose is felled by a blow from Don Nedro. They arrange for the ceremony when Jose appears in their midst on horseback and, snatching Juanita in his arms, he rides swiftly away. That evening the old man sits and sighs as he thinks of his daughter, thinking he will never see her again, when along come the happy couple, informing him that they are married, and he gladly gives them his blessing.
