Gus asks Dot's father for her hand, but is told that he is too far beneath her station, father's choice being Max, who holds a mortgage over him. Gus returns home heartbroken and is surprised to find a letter stating that he has fallen heir to $50,000. He immediately informs Dot and they mount a sprinkling cart nearby and dash to the minister's. They are seen by Max who, in a rage, tells Dot's parents, who dash after them in their machine, followed by Max, but the pursuers are baffled by the elopers, who sprinkle the street, thereby causing much skidding by the pursuers' machines. In the wild ride Gus loses his letter, which is found by the father who, upon reading it, finds that Gus is the wealthier of the two suitors, settles the question by beating up Max and tearing up the mortgage. Father and mother then dash into the minister's and Gus, on hearing them coming, prepares to defend his bride with his life, but is much surprised when his father-in-law greets him like a long lost brother.
