Thinking that the only way to make Leslie settle down and become of some value to the world, will be for him to marry, he angrily gives him just one month in which to select a wife of whom he will approve. Leslie is unsuccessful with the fair sex until one day, he finds a purse which he hastens to return to the owner, Grace Warner, with whom he falls in love. While calling upon Grace he is kept waiting so long that he finally falls asleep. She finds him comfortably sleeping and sends the Swedish maid for an alarm clock, setting it for 5:30, and placing it near his head. Leslie is awakened by the alarm and is horrified when he sees the time, thinking he has slept there all night. He rushes out, meeting Lena, the maid, to whom he makes desperate love, as the time given him to find a wife is about up and he must meet the requirements in order to get his allowance. He introduces the maid to his uncle, who becomes disgusted with Leslie's choice of a wife. Leslie returns to Grace's home, and after a stormy meeting with that young lady, he tells her the circumstances. She decides to help him. Grace is introduced to uncle, but too late, as the month's time is up. She attracts the old man in spite of himself. She walks about the room as though straightening things up, and she takes the opportunity to wind the clock and set it back to 11:55. Uncle's attention is called to the clock, he nods in approval, and the day is saved for Leslie. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
