She carries her hatred to the extent of turning the faces of all the portraits of her male relatives to the wall. She is informed that she has fallen heir to an immense fortune. In her joy she invites her old-maid, man-hating friends to share her home with her. They come, each one bringing her pet, a cat, a dog, a parrot, and some even mice. These pets become intolerable and her life is made miserable. In her despair she resolves to marry so as to get rid of the annoyance. She visits beauty parlors, arrays herself in gorgeous attire and has small photos of herself taken, six for 25 cents. At her first party she gets busy by putting a photo inside the watch of a married man, and one also in the watch of an engaged man. The discovery of these photos are productive of trouble to the respective victims. Abigail is found out and confesses that, being an heiress, she was desirous of getting married. After the ladies concerned have given her a piece of their minds she is left alone. Her maid brings her cat she has discarded, and she hogs it affectionately. And once more the portraits of her male relatives are turned to the wall. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
