To show his obedience, Neal 'phones and tells the maid to ask Margaret to meet him in lovers' lane in the park at two. Father overhears the tryst and decides to follow. The maid tells Margaret, but she also tells Margaret's mother, Stella. As mother has forbidden Margaret to see Neal, mother, too, goes at two to lovers' lane. Margaret and Neal meet. Stella slips on a banana peel. Father helps her up, is much impressed and arranges to see her later. They part and father comes on the young couple. He drags Neal away. Father meets a friend and Neal slips back to Margaret just as Stella comes up. She upbraids them and takes her daughter home. Each parent decides to send the child away to school. But it happens to be the same school, and Margaret and Neal get together in spite of Prof. Snitch. Meanwhile, father is making time with Stella. When Neal is discovered on a harmless visit to Margaret and her roommate, Snitch sends word to both parents that the children are expelled. Father arrives first and is surprised to see Margaret. While he is out Stella comes in. Seeing Neal, she scolds him for following her daughter. Then father comes back, he and Stella recognize each other and decide that, as in each case it is the other's child, they will have a double wedding. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
