An inspiration seizes them, and they put up a sign, "Gentlemen Boarders Wanted." Jack Welton sees the sign and becomes a tenant, and becomes devoted to Dorothy West, a niece, who has come to live with her aunts. Montrose Keeble and "Alk Ike" Jones become boarders, and likewise slaves to Dorothy. The spinsters try their charms on the two later boarders, but with small success. Ike finally gets the chance to propose to Dorothy, but Jack, being Johnny-on-the-spot, manages to substitute Montrose for Dorothy. Upon discovering the ruse, Ike is furious and insists upon a duel. Jack, however, persuades them not to fight, and he formulates a plan in which he is sure to be the winner in the end. They agree to a fake duel in which both shall pretend to have fallen on the field of honor. As Jack makes them believe that Dorothy will surely rush to the side of the one she thinks the most of, they agree that the loser shall immediately leave the place. They fall for his plan and land themselves in further complications with the old maids. They extricate themselves from their dilemma by hasty flight, while Jack wins the girl, and the sisters realize that they are doomed to a life of spinsterhood.
